The problem does exist due to a specific behaviour of the Windows API, which isn't handled correctly and will crash the server reproducible. - The problem is limited to Pi3Web 2.0 beta 1&2 on Win32. - Linux and Solaris versions aren't affected at all. - Older versions of Pi3Web aren't affected. - Configurations without CGI aren't affected. The problem could be reproduced by using the test case described in the original report. May be you've to vary the number of dots a bit (increase and/or decrease) dependant on the length of the physical path. A patch fixing the problem is available at sourceforge from now: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=505583&group_id=17753&ati d=317753 This .ZIP file contains 2 DLL's, which must be replaced in Pi3Web/bin. Don't forget to stop Pi3Web before you apply the patch and restart the server afterwards. A configuration based workaround is also possible by addition of the following line in object Scripts, e.g. in Pi3Web/Conf/Config.pi3: <Object> Name Scripts Class FlexibleHandlerClass Condition "&cmp(&dblookup(response,string,ObjectMap),Scripts)" # line added to check for script names ending on '.' CheckPath Condition="&regexp(*.,$z)" StatusCode StatusCode="404" ... Please report, if the problem could be reproduced before you applied the patch and if it was safely solved afterwards. -- regards Holger Zimmermann
