This is not completally true IMHO .. better, it is, but it is not the only problem.
Elog seems to speak HTML/1.0, where "host:" is not implemented ... Since ELOG does not support Vhosts I think the right beaviour is to remove the "Host:" header at all ...
On the other hand it should replay with an error when a bogus client tries to speak HTML/1.0 specifing "host:",
and (the wrost case) when the bogus client says to speak HTML/1.1 and doesnt provide the required "Host:" header ...
Yes .. elog will ignore it, but it is an RFC requirement for HTML/1.1 ! |

Really? Can you point me to a common web site using this? I would really like to see how other people use this.
|
I can't remember just now a web site using it .. what I mean is that "multiple" attribute for the "select" tag is a standard for the web (it's not an IE extension or so on ..) so every web browser implements it.
It's normally used, for example, when you fill a form describing your attitudes, here you can often choose from a select box a number of interest you are concerded.. but it is only an example

Ok, I put it on my wishlist. If more than one person asks for this, I will implement it. Unfortunately it's not only putting a multiple into the HTML page, it's also a different way how multiple selections are passed in the POST form and their decoding, so it will be an hour or two of work for me. |
Yes I know, uhm... if you point me to the right piece of code to be adjusted I can see if I'll be able to do the job  |

this is an example:

| Emiliano Gabrielli | AlberT@SuperAlberT.it | Bug report | All | | short/long_name should point the same user | .. I mean that if I use:
Restrict edit = 1
; preset author and email
Preset Author = $short_name
Preset Author Email = $user_email
Preset on reply Author = $short_name
Preset on reply Author Email = $user_email
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject
; these attributes cannot be changed
Locked Attributes = Author, Author Email
and then I change Preset Author to be "$long_name" Elog does not permit the autor to edit an old post of its own ...
It is not able to argue that short and long name are the same person..
Yes I know, you'll ask me why I should change it .. the anwer is.. I don't have to, but (as I could do it logically) I'd like to be able to do..
In my case I changed it by error, people inserted entries and now I restored the correct one .. so now I have to unlock the attribute and change every Author by hand as admin

|
a problem related to this issue is that an attribute of userlist type automatically sets the user to be in the long form..
My proposal is to alwais store users in the long form and anly give the possibility to use the short or long form in displaing time.. |

| Emiliano Gabrielli | AlberT@SuperAlberT.it | Comment | All | | A new ELOG user wants to register on "127.0.0.1" | A new ELOG user wants to register on "127.0.0.1"
the scenario is:
- elog on localhost
- stunnel on the external interface
I dont want elog to listen on external interface, so.. why do not use the URL cfg attribute for this issue ? |

Well, that teaches you not to do this error again |
uhm.. I think the confusion intrinsict in elog between long and short name is something to be solved ..
an attribute of type "userlist" fills always with the long_name .. but if I would to insert it as short ?
the users shown in the users admin dropdown menu is short .. why? .. may be I didnt understood the way this issue works ..  |

You can specify the interface to liste on with the "-n <interface>" parameter of elogd. |
I know
the following is the configuration I'm telling about... and it raises the problem reported
albert@YYYYYYYYY:~$ ps axu | grep elog
elog 22348 1.0 1.9 23660 20408 ? Ss 11:32 4:54 /usr/sbin/elogd -f /var/run/elogd.pid -c /etc/elog.conf -d /var/lib/elog -s /usr/share/elog -p 8081 -n 127.0.0.1 -x -D
