Hi all,
I am seeing some issues with OpenACS beta 3/ACS Classic 3.2 that I
want to ask others and see if they've seen these issues as well:
Most of the problems I've found are in ad_abstract_url.
1) It seems that Netscape has problems with that. Many time it just
returns "document contains no data" for some reason that I don't
understand. IE seems to be fine. Anyone seen this ?
2) Sym links. ad_abstract_url makes no provision for symlinks. It
just simply returns a Internal Server Error. I think I'll fix that
and submit the fix to aD. It's really annoying not be able to use sym
links. On the other hand, it may be a good security measure 😊
3) ACS 3.2 seems to make many more queries for every request,
including the sec_sessions_* deal. What is that meant for ? Tracking
who's coming through https ? I don't even have it and I am getting
this stuff in my logs.
Now the AOLserver issues:
1) How to you tell AS 3 to map user dirs (~username) to public_html ?
I tried ns_param usermapdir "public_html" in ns/server/${servername}
but it didn't work.
2) Has anyone noticed a slow down when using nsd8x or is it my
imagination ? Does anyone know what advantages does nsd8x offer over
nsd76 ? I know Tcl 8.3 has a byte code compiler and
internationalization, but as far as programming issues go, what
advantages Tcl 8.3 offer ?
Thanks.
