Hello, I have been dealing with some strange behavior using CGI, python and an HTTP Header "Location:" redirect on an Apache 1.3 server.
If I call a CGI script and perform a "Location:" redirect the script seems to silently run off the tracks immediately after the redirect. For example "0.xml" and "1.xml" are created when there is no redirect and only "0.xml" is created when a redirect does occur (see below). Also, after enabling suEXEC on the apache server the script executes perfectly with the redirect. Can anyone explain this behavior? I would guess that it is related to apache user rights but I can't find any reference to such problems via Google. Thanks everyone!, Derek Basch ------------------------------------------------- #! /usr/bin/python import sys import cgitb class Trainer: def train(self): fs = open("/tmp/0.xml", "w") fs.close() ## print "Location: " + "http://www.yahoo.com" + "\n\n" sys.stdout.flush() fs = open("/tmp/1.xml", "w") fs.close() def main(): try: cgitb.enable() trainer = Trainer() trainer.train() except Exception, inst: cgitb.handler() if __name__ == '__main__': main() __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
