Hiya, I've run into an interesting little problem in using twill with an application written in Ruby on Rails. For whatever reason, I was not able to load the landing page until I used clear_extra_headers to turn off all of the default headers. As you can see in the debug output below, I get a 500 from the server when headers are sent, and a 200 when they're not:
-= Welcome to twill! =- current page: *empty page* >> debug http 1 DEBUG: setting http debugging to level 1 current page: *empty page* >> go http://qa.xxxxx.com/xxxxx connect: (qa.xxxxx.com, 80) send: 'GET /xxxxx HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept-Encoding: identity\r\nHost: qa.xxxxx.com\r\nConnection: close\r\nAccept: text/html; */*\r\n\r\n' reply: 'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error\r\n' header: Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2007 22:10:13 GMT header: Server: Mongrel 1.0.1 header: Status: 500 Internal Error header: Cache-Control: no-cache header: Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 header: Content-Length: 9742 header: Set-Cookie: _session_id=23e1a01fb82c5356cda6cb34fadfabea; path=/ header: Connection: close ==> at http://qa.xxxxx.com/xxxxx current page: http://qa.xxxxx.com/xxxxx >> clear_extra_headers current page: http://qa.xxxxx.com/xxxxx >> go http://qa.xxxxx.com/xxxxx connect: (qa.xxxxx.com, 80) send: 'GET /xxxxx HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept-Encoding: identity\r\nHost: qa.xxxxx.com\r\nCookie2: $Version="1"\r\nCookie: _session_id=23e1a01fb82c5356cda6cb34fadfabea\r\nConnection: close\r\n \r\n' reply: 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n' header: Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2007 22:10:31 GMT header: Server: Mongrel 1.0.1 header: Status: 200 OK header: Cache-Control: no-cache header: Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 header: Content-Length: 20121 header: Set-Cookie: _session_id=23e1a01fb82c5356cda6cb34fadfabea; path=/ header: Connection: close ==> at http://qa.xxxxx.com/xxxxx current page: http://qa.xxxxx.com/xxxxx Rails is routing incoming traffic based on these headers, so this is obviously the problem. What I don't get is why curl, which sends a similar Accept header, works but twill does not. Using http://gallery.future-i.com/about/test-accepts to show the headers the server is receiving, I get the following responses. curl: Accept: */* Accept-Encoding: twill: Accept: text/html; */* Accept-Encoding: identity twill with clear_extra_headers: Accept: Accept-Encoding: identity Has anyone come across an issue like this before? If so, I'd greatly appreciate any advice or direction that might help resolve this. Thanks much, Kevin _______________________________________________ twill mailing list [email protected] http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/twill
