[Seaside] Safari on Leopard Apache post problem

Hmm, okay, not quite apples to apples. I've always used a simple proxy to a tiny http server or swazoo, not the nasty perl relay hack to ip listener. Any chance you could give that a try? Its a whole lot simpler to set up, can't remember the exact link to a sample though.

Cheers!

Subject: Re: [Seaside] Safari on Leopard Apache post problem

Boris,
	On the Leopard machine I start with stock Apache config file that  
ships with Leopard (see below) and add in a separate conf file that is  
included in the httpd.conf file:
---
ScriptAlias /scandia/2008/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/ 
scandia.pl/"

<Directory /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/>
         Options +FollowSymLinks
         RewriteEngine on
         RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
         RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
</Directory>
---

(Aside: the rewrite rules above do not work to pass the http  
authorization requests). The scandia.pl file is the perl relay file  
$visualHome/waveserver/waverelays/perl/visualworks.pl.  The /Library/ 
WebServer/CGI-Executables is Apple's CGI-bin directory.

The httpd.conf file with some comments removed:
---
