There's a site I consider useful for news on SSL/TLS issues. <URL:https://www.feistyduck.com/> I originally went there because of <URL:https://www.feistyduck.com/books/openssl-cookbook/>
But they have a newsletter with the issue reports: <URL:https://www.feistyduck.com/bulletproof-tls-newsletter/issue_26_google_plans_to_distrust_all_current_symantec_certificates.html> (also available as email via free subscription). Now, I don't think they are using web2py, so I'm not sure there's an immediate lesson for us in this story, but ... I was looking at newsletter #26 at that site, and decided to print it out. 10 minutes later, the "preparing" box was still spinning, and didn't respond to cancels. I did something else, and even went away for a while ... like a long lunch. When I came back, the webpage had printed. Or at least the first 118 pages out of 25441. The first page had the top headline, pages 4-5 had the content, and the rest had the "flash" message in the corner, and lots of space for doodling. A quick look via inspect element suggests the page is laid out using tables to position divs, instead of having blocks. I don't know if that is what blew up, but clearly something in the page layout didn't do what was expected when not being put on a screen. This story would have been better if it had occurred last Saturday, but at least it happened in April. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
