Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Installing 5.2.3 Core: problems and questions.

Strangely, after looking at the first n-1 entries in the table, I assumed the final one must be the newest! I guess most users would have just given up and moved on to some other project. Which download should I get if I want a stable version? Anyone know if the 'download package from remote' is working, or if it fails, is it more clear why? It appears the download works, at least according to the remote server's logs, but the file just evaporates. Anway, the working hard has paid off, it shouldn't take much time (like a few minutes) to download and install the new version. I was wondering why folks think this is so hard and time-consuming, at least with postgres.

Thanks for the info!

I think that the ns_startcontent issue is partly an AOLserver bug. The code comments suggest that there should be a reasonable default returned if no charset is present in the -type string. OpenACS has traditionally been the lead on this functionality (it seems to me anyway), developers here seem to know more about it. Is there a need for defaults in the AOLserver API, there is real source code/config setting/naming confusion in AOLserver. There are a number of related things: filename endings, char encodings, charsets (and charset names), mime-types, content-types. The config file tries to map some of these to each other. In addition, there is now, at least in the C API, a way to map input-charsets to a url, same as a filter map.
