[Bug 55641] New: "( the )" causes page to be served as text/plain
not text/html
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55641
Bug ID: 55641
Summary: "( the )" causes page to be served as text/plain not
text/html
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.22
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: mod_include
Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: apachebugs@insaner.com
In trying to do some SSI stuff I added a line to my parsed file that suddenly
caused html tags to show up. I narrowed it down to this minimal test case (just
the following, single line in the file to be parsed):
<b></b>( the )
You will notice that the tags show up (I'm on Apache/2.2.22 (Fedora), by the
way). However, if you do:
<b></b>(the )
or
<b></b>( the)
or
<b></b>( xthe )
or
<b></b>( thex )
(etc..) the file is served properly.
Other combinations that trigger this bug include anything else in the brackets
as long as the "the" is surrounded by space:
<b></b> (tested on Apache/2.2.22 (Fedora) to give the results below)
which was the original triggering text.
strange, huh?

Hello insaner,
I am now able to reproduce the problem.
I had to uncomment the following line in conf/httpd.conf:
MimeMagicFile conf/magic
I now see the same results you are seeing.
I will now try to figure out why this is happening.
Take care,
Mike Rumph

Hello insaner,
I have been trying to duplicate this without success.
What SSI directives are you using?
Thanks,
Mike Rumph

Hello insaner,
Since the problem has been identified and the code appears to be working as
designed and an alternate approach has been recommended, I've set the status to
resolved without code change.
Please, feel free to reopen.
Thanks,
Mike Rumph

You can configure a mime type for static resources to avoid mod_mime_magic
having to guess from the content (which is expensive and may be surprising).

are you using mod_mime_magic? What's the content-type if you serve the include
file directly, and what is its filename?

Okay, the material is a different setup then what I was trying.
Using your samples I was able to view the webpage.
But the first two iframes display identically for me.
Only the .shtml and .ssi appear as plain text.
I was using a Directory block in conf/httpd.conf instead of a .htaccess file,
but the results should have been the same.
There must be something else that is different in your configuration.
There might be something strange in your conf/magic file.
I will need to do some research to see what else might cause the difference you
are seeing.
Take care,
Mike Rumph

hmm.. strange.. so the solution is to "disable mod_mime_magic"? as in, this
isnt a "bug" its a "feature"?

hi Mike, thanks for looking into this, I have attached a zip file that you can
extract and view the "thebug_all.html"
when the bug is triggered, you will notice that the first two iframes (the
.parse files) show up differently, the first being served as plain text (so you
can see that html tags) and the second is fine (no html tags seen, due to the
word "the" not being surrounded by spaces on both sides)
I tried this on another server (debian 7.1, I am running fedora 14 here) and I
too was unable to trigger the bug there.. though both servers have the same
.htaccess files at the root and relative levels. I don't know if I will be able
to check the apache config files to compare them, but I will try and see what I
can do. Both are running apache 2.2.22.
let me know if this is enough info for you to trigger it on your side, or what
other info you need (and how I can obtain it)

--- Comment #7 from insaner <ap...@insaner.com> ---
hi Mike, I just got the output of apachectl -M for the remote server I
mentioned, and it does not have the
mime_magic_module (shared)
loaded (among other differences), whereas my local one (where the bug appears)
does. Hopefully that helps.. how would I go about checking what is wrong with
my mime magic file or the module itself? What would break if I disable the
module to test locally?

Here is one more point that I forgot to mention.
If you add the following line to your .htaccess file,
all of your examples will be treated as HTML:
AddType text/html .parsed
Thanks,
Mike Rumph

Okay, I did a little research.
Believe it or not, the behavior you are seeing appears to be working as
intended.
See line 326 in modules/metadata/mod_mime_magic.c:
-
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/modules/metadata/mod_mime_magic.c?view=markup
322 {
323 "The", L_ENG
324 },
325 {
326 "the", L_ENG
327 },
When "The" or "the" appear as tokens in a file, that file is considered English
text and is marked as type "text/plain".
Your other samples "<b></b>(the )" or "<b></b>( the)" keep "the" from being
recognized as a token.
So "<b></b>( the )" is considered English text.
Even more interesting are the following cases:
English:
<h1></h1>( the )
HTML:
<h1> </h1>( the )
English:
<b> </b>( the )
The httpd trunk version of mod_mime_magic.c appears to have the same code.
Thanks,
Mike Rumph

Hi Eric,
I made a few copies of the file and renamed its extensions, here are the
results:
thebug.ssi - text/plain
thebug.insert - text/plain
thebug.shtml - text/plain
thebug.html - text/html
I have it set so that it will parse all files, in case that makes a difference.
# apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES|grep mime
Syntax OK
mime_magic_module (shared)
mime_module (shared)
