Environment: Running Fossil version b3ee50c946 2008-07-15 19:03:42 on Windows as CGI handler under Apache/2.2.6 (Win32), Server built: Sep 5 2007 08:58:56.

Observed with Firefox and IE7 on Windows.

The local fossil server http://127.0.0.1:8080/setup_editcss works as expected.

I'm not sure this is related, but for many fossil generated pages, the apache httpd error log shows lines like:

Tue Sep 02 14:32:09 2008 error client my.ip.add.ress , referer: http://sub.domain.tld/fossil/sqlite/setup_editcss

but the access log seems ok:

my.ip.add.ress - - 02/Sep/2008:14:32:09 +0200 "GET /fossil/sqlite/setup_editcss HTTP/1.1" 200 8802

I would like to try with the more recent Fossil version 4b56350ecb 2008-07-24 15:08:13, but it isn't available for download as a prebuild Win32 binary, and I don't have a build infrastructure here.

It's not just the edit CSS in setup that shows it, other pages suffer as well, e.g. Timeline. It is easily detected by truncation of the fossil standard footer.

I do have a build infrastructure now (MSYS/MingW on Windows), and I did research some sources, but I can't point at the exact error.

The fix in check-in f6a071cef1 works for me on WinXP running under VMWare.

Thanks for the fix, drh.

• Bad news: I'm afraid it didn't really fix it. The contents of the EditCSS textbox still have extra \r , so line spacing increases by one after every edit.

• Good news: stdout can be made binary with setmode(), which prevents the \n to \r\n translation.

Patches for main.c:

{line 30, in header includes}
= #include <time.h>
+ #ifdef __MINGW32__
+ /* Define file mode constants */
+ #include <fcntl.h>
+ #endif

{line 615, in cmd_cgi() }
=  g.httpOut = stdout;
+ #ifdef __MINGW32__
+   /* prevent \n to \r \n translation on Windows */
+   setmode( _fileno(g.httpOut), _O_BINARY );
+ #endif

The workaround in cgi.c, function cgi_reply() , is no longer necessary; the content-length header is valid.

Full diffs will be posted on the fossil-users mailing list.
