Public bug reported: The shared server I use employs re-directs from my domain name to their local server domain name. This is causing form submission POSTs to fail in the ADMINDB pages used to moderate user posts, but not in the ADMIN pages used to manage the Mailman list. A review of the server code reveals why -
The ADMIN pages use relative addressing in the form POST, so redirects are not an issue. Whereas the ADMINDB pages use absolute addressing in the form POST. See examples below from my website - THIS WORKS - From http://just63.justhost.com/mailman/admin/humor_noonway.com <FORM action="../admin/humor_noonway.com/general" method="POST" > THIS DOESN'T WORK - From http://just63.justhost.com/mailman/admindb/humor_noonway.com <FORM action="http://noonway.com/mailman/admindb/humor_noonway.com"; method="POST" > This hasn't been an issue for the 12 years I've used Mailman to manage user posts, but all of a sudden user post management is non-functional. I can't tell if this is a change in my shared server setup, or an update to Mailman 2.1.20 causing this. There are probably Apache server settings I could change to solve this, but I can't access the folders needed to do so on a shared server. Is there a reason why the ADMINDB code couldn't be changed to use relative addressing like the code in ADMIN? ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568547 Title: admindb POST fails due to absolute addressing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1568547/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailman-coders mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-coders
