mod_auth_cas users/developers,
I've run into a problem which I believe is related to mod_auth_cas in
handling URI with spaces in them.
Prior to using mod_auth_cas things were working.
Here is the scenario.
if I have a file located in
say
c:\htdocs\test\phpInfo.php
with the appropriate .htaccess
with the directive
AuthType CAS
I can access that file via my web browser
and I get the standard phpInfo page.
if I copy those same files to a directory such as
c:\htdocs\test p\phpInfo.php
along with the same .htaccess file I get this error in my browsser
(Firefox).
"The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to
accept
cookies."
Excerts of the access logs as an example with No Space in the URL and
with a space in the URL (done with completely shutting down the browser
and clearing the logs.
Along with my analysis/observation. Looking forward to hearing what
others might have to say.
In comparing the access logs (A) without space and (B) with a space in
the URL
I see at time [06/Jan/2010:19:48:22 +0000] (5th entry down) in acces log
(B) it seems that Apache forgets that the userid "root" requesting the
document has authenticated indicated the a "-" as compared to
[06/Jan/2010:19:46:42 +0000] (7th entry down) and at that point goes
into an infinite loop, until Apache detects it and stops it.
I'm not sure if the problem is with mod_auth_cas or with CAS itself.
I'm running CAS-3-3-4-final and mod_auth_cas-1.0.8 on a windows box.
I checked out the mod_auth_cas-1.0.8 and had the modify the
mod_auth_cas.c and mod_auth_cas.h slightly to make it compile
based off of a previous post
has anyone elese experienced a similar problem with spaces in a URL?
I've tried escaping the space the %20 with no luck.
the only difference is the space in the directory name of "test p" and
"test"
Thank you in advance.
Respectfully,
Peter
