Subject: Bugzilla
Message-Id: <c4rmc0$1eli$2@news.cybercity.dk>
Does anyone in here have experience with Bugzilla? It has a web-frontend.
I'm trying to modify the program, but I can't figure out how data is passed
between the different .cgi files. I've added an extra inputfield
"testfield" to the f-form, and it appears just as expected when I load
Buzilla's startpage index.cgi.
Snippet from index.html.tmpl (including what I added) :
<form name="f" action="show_bug.cgi" method="get"
onsubmit="QuickSearch(f.id.value); return false;">
<p>
Enter a bug # or some search terms:<br>
<input type="text" name="id">
<br>
<input type="text" name="testfield">
<input type="submit" value="Show">
</p>
</form>
The problem is that the value of "testfield" is never added to the URL on
submit - it only contains the value of "id":
"http://domain/bugzilla-2.16.5/show_bug.cgi?id=1".
Any ideas on how to get the testfield-value all the way to show_bug.cgi?
Thanx,
Anders

Also, when posting to this group one often wants to show minimal
examples and just at the same time avoid unchecked open()s, for which
purpose pseudo code like 'or die horribly' is sometimes used too, but
then 'die $!' not only is perfectly fine, but also correctly working.
As a side note I tend to use the "\n"-die()s, which raised some
reactions in the past, however IMHO they are *generally* much more
clear/useful to the "end user" whereas the "other form" is mostly
useful at development stages...

I think so... well, maybe not really to *all* of his posts, but for

Message-Id: <407172c9$0$703$5402220f@news.sunrise.ch>
Howto send HTTP Header lines with mod_perl?
I want to bypass the default HTTP header and send additional HTTP keys to
the browser.
A simple $r->print( ... ) **before** $r->content_type( ... ) had the effect
the data
was printed to the browser window instead to the HTTP header.
Had no chance to use $r->header_out( ... ) so far:
Can't locate object method "header_out" via package "Apache::RequestRec"
Any complete (functional) code samples appreciated!

Apache uses a some kind of locking so one and only one of the servers
are listining on a socket. As soon as a socket is connected the lock
is released and another of the servers will be granted the lock and will
listen for the next connection. Doing it this way avoids the thundering
herd problem you would otherwise get when all the servers see a connection
come in and all try to accept it. For a connected socket both the source
IP and port and the destination IP and port identifies the socket and
thus the server process which handles this connection.

They have to stream because that's the way the script has to work. I
can't redirect to the resource. Not unless I can convince my boss
that it's absolutely necessary, which, if you know the guy will
realize why that isn't likely to happen. The main reason he wanted
streaming n the first place is because he was paranoid about people
knowing the the directory structure of where files are stored on the
webserver.

=====
- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" email address and name.

It is a "list assignment".
A list on the left (stored in an array), and a list on the right
(a short list, only one element long).
A list assignment puts the 1st thing on the right into the 1st
thing on the left, the 2nd on the right into the 2nd on the left, etc.

It has the same effect as this:
@files = (); # ensure everything else gets stomped on
$files[0] = 'logs/*.log';
> &get_files;
> &CalculateStats }
> I understand the

At this point it is nothing more than a string with an asterisk in it.
The asterisk will only be interpreted as a wildcard if the string
is eventually used with glob().
Does get_files() or CalculateStats() access @files and feed it to a glob?
Communicating via globabl variables, and calling subroutines like that
are a pretty clear indication that you are working with some
very poor code...

Just on a side note: Your aware of "perldoc -q increment", aren't you?

No, I am not aware of it, but if it makes this any easier to
understand, I sure would like to be!
