digging a website with some https-forms produces strange failure:
some forms on this website force ssl this way:
PHP Code:
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"]=="80") {
$ssl_redirect = "https://foo.com" . $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];
header("Location: $ssl_redirect");
exit;
}
this leads to:
<b>Warning</b>: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in <b>/search/admin/spider.php</b> on line <b>485</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in <b>/search/admin/spider.php</b> on line <b>503</b><br />
about 5 apache processes, consuming about 80% memory remain for hours and spidering fails.
our workaround was:
PHP Code:
if (($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"]=="80") and (strstr(strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]), mozilla)!="")) {
$ssl_redirect = "https://foo.com" . $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];
header("Location: $ssl_redirect");
exit;
}
but on websites you have no access to scripts the bug will make it impossible to spider the site.
any ideas - anyone
