RE: [cobalt-users] cgiwrap problem AFTER latest raq4 patches ?

["Mike Sisson" <msisson@xxxxxxx>]

Well it occurs with different scripts, not just one of the scripts.. in one
case it is a standard (maybe bit older) version of formmail inside the
user's folders which worked fine previously and I know they haven't updated
or changed their site in a while...
In another instance it is a person's custom script that their programmer
built which generates the an html page, gathers user input, and then
attempts to talk to sendmail to send it out...

if it was happening just with his custom script then I could believe it was
the script at fault, but since it happens to others as well, and just
started happening to all of them after the patch was applied.... Would be
rather large odds against all the scripts changing on the same date and all
changing in a way that they get the same errors..


I will do some additional testing with other scripts and see what happens.

The malformed header sounds more like the script is at issue.
Is this a Raq3 or 4, not that it matters I guess. One thing to check, make
sure it is owned by the site, We installed the secure version of FormMail
and in trying to set it up, the place we got it from conveniently left out
some information, would bounce from the error you are getting, malformed
headers to the cgiwrap error page. I understand you said nothing has
changed. Are you sure the client hasn't overwrote the script. Have you tried
to run any new scripts and see they work. Or try it on another box and
confirm it's not the script. I have had those days that I used the same
script to install day after day and then one day I get errors. You don't
have an ht file doing something either do you??
