apparently so .. now chatting on irc with crschmidt king of the ning

unknown says
Hi Seth. If you check out the <a href="http://swhack.com/logs/">Swhack chatlogs</a>, you'll find that it's still very much active. Though Aaron isn't around as much these days, there are many other new faces that weren't around when we started in 2001/2002, including the aforementioned crschmidt, whose inputs are continuing to keep the Swhack-nature going.

Cheers,

Sean B. Palmer, inamidst.com

(Incidentally, I didn't double post, but I've had that sort of behaviour happen on other sites so I presume it might be a Firefox bug. And I got an error message upon posting: "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/webadmin/fastblogit.com/html/update/index.html on line 177; Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/webadmin/fastblogit.com/html/update/index.html:177) in /home/webadmin/fastblogit.com/html/update/index.html on line 223". You might want to check that out. --sbp)

Sean B. Palmer says
Oh, even stranger: that one didn't double post!

Seth says
sbp, what platform?

unknown says
Ah, thanks. I was using rich text at first, but then I gave up and hoped that the box would allow HTML input. You might want to mention that it doesn't so that others don't do the same thing. (And sorry for the ongoing double posts... actually, I'll inspect my HTTP traffic this time.) --sbp

Seth says

sbp, easy to give yourself a name ... just go through that door and make a group ....

Sean B. Palmer says
Thanks again; done so. And it does indeed appear to be a problem where Firefox is sending the POST twice, but I've no idea why it's doing that and why there hasn't been a speedily patched version of Firefox released... hmm.

Sean B. Palmer says
Okay, I'll trace this one too and compare it to the trace where I wasn't logged in. Perhaps the cookie is making the difference or something.

Seth says

welcomes Sean to group sbp

this site uses cookies extensively

Seth says
indidentally im using FF on Windows, works much better than IE, and Mark frequently uses it on unix and this is first time i have seen those double posts. u gotta be doing something wierd.

Sean B. Palmer says
As well as the cookie difference, it now seems that your server is responding with an HTTP 302 instead of an HTTP 200. RFC 2616 is quite clear that a 200 is a perfectly valid response, so it's a pretty weird bug if that's the cause of it.

Sean B. Palmer says
Yeah, but you're logged in. Perhaps try logging out and posting something anonymously and see if it double posts? Also, I've only noticed this behaviour in Firefox 1.0.7, which is the latest version, so if you're not using that then that might be why you haven't seen it yet.

hmmm ... the 302 is prolly my fault

... im dont know what is causing that

Mark de LA says
I have been using Firefox 1.07 for a while , NP

Seth says

yep there be gremlins here ... for a anonymous user posting from text box at least

Mark de LA says
Here is Firefox 1.07 from Linux FC4

Mark de LA says

Here is Firefox 1.07 from FC4 from the RTE

Sean B. Palmer says
Oh! Actually I think it might be one of the extensions that I have installed, now I come to think of it. It's an archiving tool, and it's probably getting over happy with the archiving for some reason. Many thanks for testing this out for me!

Seth says
magor, log out and try that .. sean and i found the bug when we were anonymous

well many thanks for finding the

This s/b an anonymous test from the text box

unknown says

unknown says
last one i got the system bug trying to post from the text box MR(;-))

Sean B. Palmer says
(Oh, I should note that the 302 is a valid response too. You don't have to do anything to fix that, and it's not that that's causing the problem anyway.)

unknown says

There is a

there!

Seth says

this

prolly creaped in very recently because that was extensively tested way back

Mark de LA says
I got the double because I tried to back out of the other errors & tried again & apparently it posted each time but did not respond normally.

Seth says
anyway i was trying to find the blog that swhack creates but it is not immediately apparent from the home page and i still have not found it

Sean B. Palmer says
Yeah, that's not what happened to me. Note that my double posts are within about a second of one another which indicates that they're automatic (caused by the Slogger extension, I believe, as I say), whereas yours indicate the time that elaspsed when you had to go back and repost.

Sean B. Palmer says
Seth: the original weblog crashed when Aaron's server, vorpal, melted taking all of the data with it. We managed to get the logs back and some other things, but the original weblog is basically gone for now. In its stead there's url http://planet.swhack.com/, which is an aggregation of some of the weblogs of the regular Swhack members.

Is this not it ?

where is the irc channel bot posting syntax ?

this

has been fixde, thanks sean for finding it

unknown says
one more test of bug fix

Seth says

snuck in when i moved logic from /update/ to common.php

Sean B. Palmer says
Since the posting bot doesn't exist anymore, there's no syntax for it. But when it did exist, and presumably when it exists again if kpreid gets around to rewriting it, the syntax was "title (description): URI", with all fields and whitespace being mandatory.
