Time trials error message (Not Found)

Post by AmbyR00 »

After the first problem, when clicking "next", the page gives me this error message:
Not Found

The requested URL /prob.php3_id=8736&trialid=2831511&vl=8945811 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Any idea what's causing it?

Hmm... That's very weird.
The correct URL must contain a "?" instead of "_" there.
I've never heard of that.

What is the version number of your JRE (Java Runtime Environment)?
What OS and web browser are you using?
What will happen if you trun off the antivirus software temporarily and try the time trial?

I use Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04), which has officially switched from the original Sun JRE binaries (which they have ceased to support) to the OpenJRE6. The browser is Firefox 3.6.3. There's also a classpath alternative in the repositories (gcj-4.4-jre), haven't tried that yet though.

Disabling any of my security related Firefox extensions had no effect. Other than those, I have no antivirus software in use.

Hi,

I searched the web for information about this issue, but I could not find any.
I feel like it's very specific to your environment.
And, unfortunately, I don't have chances to test Ubuntu or OpenJRE.

I've created a simple applet that may (not) help to diagnose what is wrong.
Can you take some time to try it?
http://www.goproblems.com/test/javaurl/javaurl.html

When you press the "Parse" button in the applet, some text will appear in the box.
I expect that it is:

Code: Select all

protocol: "http"
host    : "www.goproblems.com"
path    : "/prob.php3"
query   : "id=5"
hash    : (null)
string  : "http://www.goproblems.com/prob.php3?id=5"
Parsing done.
I'm curious what it will be like in your environment.
And when you press the "Visit" button, the problem 5 must open in a new window. Will that work?

Parsing, it seems, went ok:

Code: Select all

protocol: "http"
host    : "www.goproblems.com"
path    : "/prob.php3"
query   : "id=5"
hash    : (null)
string  : "http://www.goproblems.com/prob.php3?id=5"
Parsing done.
But forwarding to the game page still gave the same error:

Code: Select all

Not Found

The requested URL /prob.php3_id=5 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I think I'll ask the Ubuntu and Openjava devs if it can be fixed. A lot of people using Ubuntu and other Linux distros most likely using openjava too these days so I think they might want to look into this.

Please tell them:
- showDocument() method of java.applet.AppletContext has the problem.
- The URL class instance seems created correctly, as seen in the test applet.

The source code of the test applet is here:
http://www.goproblems.com/test/javaurl/ ... pplet.java

Sorry I didn't help much.

Yea, well I posted a bug report, so I'll just wait and see if there is some progress there.
In the meantime I could probably try out the gcj-jre if I get the chance.
And if it doesn't work, there's always the option of trying to replace all of java with the Sun binaries, although do I think the bug report is the right course of action now. :)

Hi, it seems a patch is provided in the Bugzilla.
(Oh, that's a terrible bug! Now I see why a question mark turns into an underscore ...)
