I have just setup a new ELOG server on another machine. I took the latest source code from here: http://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/tar/elog-latest.tar.gz. Compiled it and ran. 
Still the same problem with Safari.

I think this is a bug report. 
However, I am not sure whether the problem is in the new version of Apple's WebKit (15.4) or in the ELOG itself.

When we edit an ELOG record with Safari (as of version 15.4, new WebKit features added) the number of "newline" symbols (actually LF, 0xA) are doubled.

So, for instance, if I edit the following page (1 LF symbol between "aaa" and "bbb"):
```
aaa
bbb
```

then after a "Submit" (without actually any changes) the record becomes (2 LF symbols):

```
aaa

bbb
```

then after a "Submit" (without actually any changes) the record becomes (4 LF symbols in between):
```
aaa



bbb
```

NOTE: The LF symbol at the end (after the "bbb" line) does NOT get duplicated (it gets truncated, I believe).


Our current ELOG version is "ELOG V3.1.4-4936b76".
Could you please have a look?

Dear all, 

I have a question for you. On my elog server I have plenty of images not included in any logbook entry, but that nevertheless I would the user to have access to that via the browser. In order words, I would like to have a link like this https://myelog/my_pics_folder/my_pic.png

I have realized that if I put my_pics_folder in the script folder, then it works as I wanted, but I strongly doubt this is the right position. If I put in the resources folder, it is not found and the elogd displays a message saying that my_pics_folder is not a valid logbook.

Do you have any suggestions for this problem? 

Thanks in advance and enjoy your day!

the freebsd elog package was removed back in 2014 during
a purge of "not staged" packages. Originally submitted
in 2006, went through at least two maintainers.
