Re[2]: [Xitami] PHP_SELF?

[jwayne]

Thanks, Marcio. I originally _did_ look for archives for this list and didn't
see it referenced anywhere on Xitami.com. After you mentioned it existed, I
found it on lists.xitami.org. Then I was amazed at how these archives are
maintained. They aren't searchable and that I had to download a 16 meg file to
do a proper search for my question!

Anyway, doing a text-based search I found that were indeed "many many answers",
most of them mentioning that PHP_SELF was a problem going back quite a ways, and
never apparently fixed. There were a number of workarounds mentioned. I'll look
at these, but I'm dealing with a set of third-party scripts that I'd rather not
mess with. I'll probably test them out with Apache which works properly.

<RANT_ON>

If anyone from Xitami monitors this list, please note: why isn't the
lists.xitami.org link referenced on the support page on the .com site? And why
isn't the fact that there _are_ archives mentioned on the "Welcome" email from
this list? Why is it necessary to archive full headers, which accounts for the
vast majority of the 16 meg archive size? And most unforgiveable of all: why
aren't the archives searchable??? Doing text searches and wading through headers
and quoted text and html messages - rather than being able to view messages by
threads - is enormously inefficient.
