Errors from title tage

[Tony Lawrence]

I see lots of things like this in my error log:

[Tue Feb 15 10:47:03 2005] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does
not exist: /usr/local/www/vhosts/vps.pcunix.com/htdocs/SCOFAQ/How do I
solve fork failed no more processes_files, referer:
http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_scotec1NPROC.html

What's happened there is that they have replaced the actual filename
with the contents of the title tag.

Here's where they originally accessed the file from access_log:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx6 - - [15/Feb/2005:10:42:56 +0000] "GET
/SCOFAQ/FAQ_scotec1NPROC.html HTTP/1.0" 200 6659
"http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=fork+failed" "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)"

Notice it was 5 seconds or so later for the error? Which makes me
think they clicked on something, but I just cannot find anything in
this page that could do that. And it's NOT just this page - it happens
all over the place. I see no consistency with browser type either, it
seems like it can happen to anything on any page.

I DO have validation problems and am working on those trying to clean
everything up, but as I can't duplicate this on any browser I have
access to (Windows, Mac, Linux), i can't imagine that's the problem.

Here's another:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [15/Feb/2005:09:43:10 +0000] "GET
/Linux/lostlinuxpassword.html HTTP/1.0" 200 15119
"http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_scotec1root_1.html" "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)"

[Tue Feb 15 09:46:45 2005] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does
not exist: /usr/local/www/vhosts/vps.pcunix.com/htdocs/Linux/Lost root
password (Linux)_files, referer:
http://www.aplawrence.com/Linux/lostlinuxpassword.html

Any ideas appreciated..

Note the "_files" that is not in the page source, but is
'tacked on' at the end of the "title".

Don't know the root of your problem, or if it might be
associated with other platforms, but on MS Windows, if
I use your page:
http://www.aplawrence.com/Linux/lostlinuxpassword.html
and save the page, using Firefox, as "Web page, complete",
I get a file called "lostlinuxpassword.html" and a
directory called "lostlinuxpassword_files".
If, using IE, I save the same page as
"Web page, complete (*.htm,*.html)" I get a file called
"Lost root password (Linux).htm" and a directory called
"Lost root password (Linux)_files".

In both of those saved files the browser replaces all the
URIs that point to your site with references to the local
directory containing 'the files'.

It would appear that your pages have been saved, perhaps
using IE, but in a manner where the references to the
'local files' are somehow incorrect?

Since you bring up the possibility of platform differences,
Linux/Firefox, I get:

file lostlinuxpassword.html
directory lostlinuxpassword_files
apl.css
aplpos.css
logo.gif
print.css
show_ads
slatewide.css
sorttable.js
styles.js
In both of those saved files the browser replaces all the
URIs that point to your site with references to the local
directory containing 'the files'.

In the locally saved html file, I see translated relative links you do:

<link rel="stylesheet" ... href="lostlinuxpassword_files/apl.css">

But absolute refs onsite, in the body:

<a href="/index.html" ... >

are, in the local copy, translated to still point to the site

<a href="http://www.aplawrence.com/index.html" ... >

EXCEPTION:

<form action="/cgi-bin/supersearch.pl" ... >

remains

<form action="/cgi-bin/supersearch.pl" ... >

Schemed URLs onsite:

<a href="http://www.aplawrence.com/Linux/" ... >

remain unchanged:

<a href="http://www.aplawrence.com/Linux/" ... >

Dunno if that's helpful.

Yes! That's it! I can duplicate it with IE.

Buncha maroons..

Thanks!
