Re: [cobalt-developers] Problems with CGI-WRAP - handler "cgi-wrapper" not found for:

[Duncan Laurie <duncan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bill,

This is a bug in Apache (pr#4807) versions 1.3.3/6, and was fixed in 1.3.9. 
The problem is the handler matching code in http_config.c.  It does a two-pass
check for handlers, and logs a warning if the handler is not found with the
first pass.  Since cgiwrap is not a default apache handler, it fails with the
first pass but then succeeds on the second pass.  The fix is is simple:  move
the warning check to after the second pass.

It is a harmless warning; but if you have lots of cgi traffic it can make the
error logs grow...  I re-compiled the RaQ2 apache with a patch and put it on
ftp.cobaltnet.com.

RPM:
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/users/duncan/apache-1.3.3-1C7-noCGIwarn.mips.rpm
SRPM:
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/users/duncan/apache-1.3.3-1C7-noCGIwarn.src.rpm

(note:  ftp.cobalt.com appears to be a completely different server and does not
have these user directories...  so be sure to specify ftp.cobaltnet.com)

Standard disclaimer: this is of course unsupported, and I wouldn't even bother
installing it unless the warnings bother you immensly or you have very
high-traffic sites with CGIs.

If you are interested you can email me for a code diff or look in the SRPM.
