Hi, as a collegue just pointed out to me, cvsweg.cgi issues a redirect to the same url if the path (entered manually) starts with a valid module name, but ends in a nonexisting file or directory. Consider: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/usr.sbin/sendmail/ (produces dir) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/sendmail/ (produces redir to usr.sbin/sendmail/) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/xxx/ (produces error msg) but http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/usr.sbin/sendmail/xxx/ produces a redirect to exactly that url. Luckily, Apache recognizes this, and provides the cgi output with a (not very helpful) Content-Type: application/x-httpd-cgi. Please review the change in http://www.freebsd.org/~stb/www/cgi/cvsweb.cgi, specifically http://www.freebsd.org/~stb/www/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/usr.sbin/sendmail/ http://www.freebsd.org/~stb/www/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/sendmail/ http://www.freebsd.org/~stb/www/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/xxx/ http://www.freebsd.org/~stb/www/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/usr.sbin/sendmail/xxx Stefan -- Stefan Bethke Promo Datentechnik | Tel. +49-40-851744-0 + Systemberatung GmbH | Fax. +49-40-851744-44 Eduardstrasse 46-48 | e-mail: stefan@Promo.DE D-20257 Hamburg | http://www.Promo.DE/ Private: Mühlendamm 12 | Tel. +49-40-256848 D-22089 Hamburg | e-mail: stefan.bethke@hanse.de
