texte = We have built a site using the examples that come with Wbecatalog as a reference. Everything works fine except for one thing: If a user performs a search and then tries to either save or view the HTML source of the results-page, the webserver crashes. This happens with both webten and Webstar. Whoops! It also works with Appleshare IP 6.1; I just tried! ;-)I tried doing the same thing with the demo-site that installs with Webcatalog; lo and behold! I can crash that too. The classified add site that is included works exactly like this. Of course, this is what we used as the basis for our search, so that is perhaps not too surprising.Can anyone shed light on this behaviour? Our ISP is getting sort of testy because the kind of people who tend to look at source are also the kind who tend to be up late. And he just plum hates to have to go in and restart his servers at 2 A.M. :-))Regards Lars BertelsenLars Bertelsen Produkt Manager Attention Software Aps (+45) 33251070 http://www.attention.dk/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
