Error Accessing "playing With Python" Page
« on: March 30, 2009, 09:03:04 pm »
I was perusing the OESF wiki, and noticed that the "Playing with Python" page has an error when I tried to access it:

https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Playing_with_Python

Precondition Failed

The precondition on the request for the URL /index.php evaluated to false.
Apache/2 Server at www.oesf.org Port 80
C-3100 (reaquainting myself with Cacko) / Nokia 810 / Nokia N800 / Asus eeePC
Previously owned: SL-5500 / SL-5600 / SL-6000L / C-860 / Nokia 770 / Pepperpad 3

We've encountered a similar problem before. It seems that certain article text sequences (a three-period ellipsis) cause the PHP interpreter to barf. I've tried editing the page in question and replacing the ellipses with &hellip entities, but the page is still generating errors. However, the page is displayable if you enter via the revision history page: https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Playin...amp;oldid=11024. Check it out.

I will keep this problem in mind, but it's hard to tell when I'll have time to do the research to really solve it.
