Public bug reported: I have a script using:
import BaseHTTPServer, CGIHTTPServer [...] handler_class.cgi_directories=['/cgi', '/cgi/tools'] with some cgis in /cgi and others in /cgi/tools. All worked fine for years. All the cgis in /cgi (like http://localhost:8002/cgi/test-cgi.py) contiue to work. After the update, all the cgis in /cgi/tools (like http://localhost:8002/cgi/tools/test-cgi.py) don't work any more. The only response I get is this error: Error response Error code 403. Message: CGI script is not a plain file ('/cgi/tools'). Error code explanation: 403 = Request forbidden -- authorization will not help. Of course /cgi/tools is not a plain file, because it's a directory: ~/server-path/cgi$ ls -dl tools/ drwxr-xr-x 2 me me 4096 Jun 6 2013 tools/ So why did this break? How come that the directory /cgi/tools, although declared as cgi directory, has to be a "plain file"? What changed from 13.10 to 14.04 to produce this? ** Affects: baloo (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327762 Title: Update to 14.04 broke python cgi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/baloo/+bug/1327762/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
