haoyu_nkinkade, the rewrite rule on monitor.(cc).org maybe still a bit problematic - when I edit page via api.php ( http://monitor.creativecommons.org/api.php ) the content is written to page "Api.php"16:41
haoyu_nkinkade, but it may not caused by rewrite rules because other POST request to api.php works well, so I'm not quite sure16:41
nkinkadehaoyu_: Let me see ...16:42
haoyu_I can produce some request so you can see what happend on the logs16:42
nkinkadehaoyu_: I might be misunderstanding something, but that page show up for me.16:43
nkinkadeThat is, api.php is not redirected to Api.php.16:44
haoyu_yes, the problem only occurs when I do editing via api.php16:44
haoyu_when edit via api.php, the content of the page pushed to a wiki page called 'Api.php'16:45
*** flakerimi has joined #CC16:45
haoyu_eg. I just done a edit on page Sandbox via api.php, but now the content published on Api.php16:46
haoyu_and Sandbox page unchanged.16:47
nkinkadehaoyu_: I've never used api.php ... can you give me an example URL?16:47
haoyu_em, it should be a post request, hold on, I'll figure out how the post data looks like16:48
nkinkadeIt won't work with a GET?16:49
haoyu_yes the api.php require POST on some method16:51
nkinkadeYou could email me the form you're using.16:52
nkinkadeOr pastebin it.16:52
paulproteusIt does work with GETs in some cases.16:52
haoyu_yep it just doesn't work for the edit action..16:52
haoyu_it is not a form, it is a python wiki bot called mwclient.16:56
haoyu_nkinkade, the session here: http://pastebin.com/m5eae1e8716:56
haoyu_I grabed the whole session. Everyone of them is a POST request. the last request is the one caused problem16:57
nkinkadehaoyu_:  This one?: format=json&text=HIHIHIHIHI&title=Sandbox&bot=1&summary=&token=cf8e109505b5f13ba4f0b59ac4350293%2B%5C&notminor=1&action=edit16:58
haoyu_yes16:58
nkinkadeThat looks a lot like a GET request to me.16:58
nkinkadeOr does this python module break it down into a POST?16:58
haoyu_yes but it is indeed a POST16:58
nkinkadeSo you feed the module a GET-style URL and it converts it?16:59
haoyu_it just POSTed the data in this format... em... let me see..16:59
haoyu_I think it is the Python API has break it down17:00
*** papyromancer has quit IRC17:03
nkinkadeThat may be how POST data looks.  I honestly forgot how it's passed.  It's been years since I manually parsed POST data, probably about 10 years, and I did it using Perl.17:03
nkinkadeIt may very well be tokenized like that, similar to GET, but sent as content/data instead.17:04
haoyu_em.. anyway do you think it is a mediawiki bug? it said clearly in the request that the title is 'Sandbox', but in the return value the title is 'Api.php'17:07
haoyu_I just think it maybe related to the rewrite rule since it is just the url of the request - api.php17:08
nkinkadeYeah, that is strange.17:09
paulproteusI think it's the Rewrite rules, too. Let me know if I ought to give it a gander.17:09
paulproteuslol re: HIHIHIHIHI17:10
nkinkadehaoyu_: paulproteus: Here are the only rewrite rules:17:11
nkinkadehttp://pastebin.com/de7ac49217:11
nkinkadePresumably if it's posting to /api.php, then it should not be touched by those rules, as api.php exists.17:11
nkinkadeUnless %{REQUEST_FILENAME} is something other than what it's expecting.17:12
paulproteusYeah, I agree, that seems strange.17:12
paulproteusThere was this old Apache2 bug about REQUEST_FILENAME.17:12
paulproteusBut I think we're probably past that nowadays. Are we on Lenny on that machine?17:12
nkinkadepaulproteus: Not yet.17:12
paulproteusOkay.17:12
nkinkadea7 and a5 I was hoping to do this week.  Had we talked about tomorrow?17:13
haoyu_ah... seems it is indeed changed to /index.php?title=Api.php , so the api.php got Api.php as title?17:13
nkinkadehaoyu_: Can you catch the request your program is sending with tcpdump or wireshark and look precisely at the headers and data?17:13
nkinkadeAh.17:13
nkinkadeSo my thought is that %{REQUEST_FILENAME} is not what the rewrite rule is expecting.17:14
nkinkadeIs it possible your program is generating a slightly faulty request?17:14
paulproteusnkinkade, I'm curious why you prefix that with the full path. I guess it shouldn't make a difference, but I don't usually do that.17:15
paulproteusThat should be idle discussion, so if you have a real lead go on that.17:15
paulproteusi.e.17:15
paulproteus#17:15
paulproteusRewriteCond /var/www/monitor.creativecommons.org/www%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f17:15
paulproteusvs17:15
paulproteusRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f17:15
paulproteusI'll be back in ca. 30m.17:15
*** oshani has quit IRC17:21
*** oshani has joined #cc17:21
haoyu_nkinkade, the last request catched by wireshark here: http://pastebin.com/d790317cf17:24
nkinkadepaulproteus: I can't remember why I did that.  I have this recollection that I found that it required an absolute filesystem path, but there may have been something else going on.17:24
haoyu_the post data is just the same as GET... I think17:24
nkinkadeSure looks pretty normal.17:25
nkinkadeLet me turn on rewrite logging and then I'll have you make the request again.17:25
nkinkadehaoyu_: Can you make the request again, right now.17:26
nkinkadeThe logs gets big fast.17:26
haoyu_requesting...17:27
haoyu_done.17:27
nkinkadehaoyu_:   It would appear that modrewrite is passing it through to /api.php.  I see about 6 or 7 requests to api.php and all them end with this:  (1) pass through /api.php17:33
haoyu_is there anyone passed to index.php or something?17:34
nkinkadeI could perhaps later api.php to return all sorts of data like $_POST, $_SESSION, etc.17:34
nkinkadeNone of them were passed to /index.php.17:34
nkinkadeCan you modify your program to only make a single request ... the POST to edit?17:35
nkinkadeThat will make it easier to pick out.17:35
haoyu_there's maybe just the last request is wrong...17:35
haoyu_hmm, I'm not sure, it may need to grab a token before editing.17:35
nkinkadeI see 6 requests for /api.php and all of them got passed through.  Is your programing making exactly 6 requests?17:36
haoyu_the whole logic is in a package, maybe not easy to hacking with17:36
haoyu_yes 6 requests17:36
nkinkadehaoyu_: Does your program accept any return data?17:38
nkinkadeIf so, I can have api.php return some of its environment.17:38
haoyu_okey17:39
haoyu_just make it starting with some tags so I can hack the program for it.17:40
haoyu_eg. "DEBUG:"17:40
nkinkadeIt'll be the output of print_r($_POST), so I'll wrap it in something easy to pick out.17:42
nkinkadehaoyu_: Try it now.17:44
nkinkadeIt will return the contents of $_REQUEST and $_SESSION, and then exit.17:45
haoyu_it seems correct: http://pastebin.com/m640634ad17:47
*** papyromancer has joined #cc17:47
haoyu_can you don't break api.php's logic but just append the output after its normal output?17:47
haoyu_so we can see how the entire session works17:48
*** MesutCanGurle has joined #cc17:48
nkinkadehaoyu_: I moved it to the end of the file.17:52
haoyu_nkinkade, http://pastebin.com/m17cc1fb117:54
haoyu_did you notice every requict17:54
haoyu_oops17:54
haoyu_every request has a [title] => api.php17:54
haoyu_even there's no title argument passed in...17:55
nkinkadeYeah, that's strange.  That almost seems like a bug in the api.php implementation.17:57
haoyu_it messed up the _REQUEST...17:58
haoyu_in our previous result, you put the output before the API logic, then there's no [title]=>api.php17:59
*** michaelkrnac has joined #cc18:01
nkinkadehaoyu_: That would indeed seem like either a bug in api.php or some omission in the way you are forming the request.18:02
nkinkadeDo you agree?18:02
haoyu_in includes/WebRequest.php it has line like: $_GET['title'] = $_REQUEST['title'] = substr( $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO'], 1 );18:02
haoyu_is it caused the problem?18:03
haoyu_ah nkinkade, have you enabled $wgUsePathInfo ?18:05
haoyu_http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUsePathInfo18:05
*** Bovinity has quit IRC18:05
*** jgay has quit IRC18:05
nkinkadehaoyu_: It was not enabled, but it is now.18:06
haoyu_nkinkade, could you force disable $wgUsePathInfo ?18:09
haoyu_I greped whole mediawiki code and just found a place in WebRequest, it set  $_REQUEST['title'] when  $wgUsePathInfo is true.18:10
nkinkadeThere you go.18:11
nkinkadeGod bless grep.  I'd be lost without it.18:11
haoyu_yes it works now!18:11
haoyu_you disabled  $wgUsePathInfo right? and now it works..18:12
haoyu_it find the correct title now :)18:12
haoyu_cheers~!18:12
*** robmyers has joined #cc18:13
nkinkadehaoyu_: Yeah, I set $wgUsePathInfo to false.18:14
nkinkadeGlad the fix was easy, though it took a while to arrive there. :-)18:14
haoyu_indeed...18:15
haoyu_amazing, this also fixed another bug caused my program crash. thanks nkinkade ! :)18:18
nkinkadehaoyu_: No problem, though you were the one to find the issue.  I just used vi a bit. :-)18:19
haoyu_haha. anyway thank you nkinkade :) I'll go ahead coding now :)18:22

nkinkadepaulproteus: I just verified that you need the absolute filesytem path for files when you are doing RewriteConds in the vhost config.20:06
nkinkadeYOu can use relative paths in <Directory> or .htaccess20:06
paulproteusOh, I think I just always keep mine in <Directory>. That's the difference.20:06
paulproteusThanks, I didn't know that, and it explains it all.20:06

paulproteus$ cat ~/sshfs/opened.creativecommons.org/tmp/dull.xml23:33
paulproteusThat will now auto-mount whichever server opened is on and read me that file.23:33

*** cristi2 has quit IRC23:38
*** nathany has quit IRC23:38
nkinkadepaulproteus: An interesting addition to that would be some wrapper script called, say "rmt" that would interpret commands passed to it as a command to be executed on the remote machine, which is automatically determined based on what mount point you in.23:39
