Description of problem: All pxt urls on spacewalk server die with a generic apache error 500, indicating that the ErrorDocument call failed as well (probably because it, too, is a pxt). The following paths all give the same error: /network/systems/details/history/pending.pxt /network/systems/details/remote_commands.pxt /systems/details/activation.pxt /network/systems/details/reboot_confirm.pxt Im guessing all others exhibit the same problem. The only error in the log are unhelpful: [Wed Jul 20 09:10:21 2011] [error] [client 10.0.0.1] APR::Request::Error=HASH(0x7f3d04bbbeb0), referer: https://spacewalk.example.com/rhn/systems/details/Overview.do?sid=1000010005 No tracebacks are sent. I assume this is because the 500.pxt file is responsible for sending the traceback, and this fails. The server is running CentOS 6.0 with a PostgreSQL backend. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in 2. Browse to a registered system 3. Try to view events for the system Actual results: Generic Error 500 Expected results: Events Page, or spacewalk-branded error 500 with traceback email sent.

It looks like this is caused by an incorrect, or badly formed cookie header ( http://marc.info/?t=126162614500001&r=1&w=2 ) Attached is a patch to make it ignore this. I'm not a Perl expert, so i suspect its not a fantastic way of fixing it, but it seems to work. I'm not sure if this is a browser issue, or something in the APR library.
Created attachment 514107 [details] fix for bad cookie headers being sent by browser Changes the way cookie data is parsed slightly
I'd much rather see a fix for the part of our code which generates the bad Cookie than eval around it. Could you debug some more to see which request/code sets the Cookie?
Taking and setting needinfo for the cookie/debug/code to see which part of the application sets the wrong cookie.
I think this may actually be a browser issue. I upgraded to 1.5 to see if the problem still persists (it does), and tested with Safari 5.1(OSX), Chrome 12 (OSX), Firefox 3.6.12 (Win7), and Firefox 5.0.1 (OS X). Only Firefox 5.0.1 exhibits this problem. I'll try do some additional testing.
Even worse, it looks like it was something to do with my firefox profile. Even after deleting all cookies to do with spacewalk, it would still occur. Only by deleting the cookies.sqlite db in my firefox profile would it work again. I suspect this is a bug in firefox then. Closing as not a bug.
