Mongrel, .htaccess, cpanel, rewrite, Mongrel::HttpParserError
I just installed my RoR application on my ISP''s server.
This is a Cpanel environment and it creates a .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xyz.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xyz.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/127\.0\.0\.1\:12001\/$1" [P,L]
in a public_html directory. (I changed my domain name in the text above
to xyz because we are not ready to do a product launch.)
The objective, I guess, of the .htaccess file in public_html is to
rewrite (i.e. redirect) www.xyz.com to 127.0.0.1:12001
When I access my website using
www.xyz.com:12001
everything works fine. All my pictures show up, all links work, there
are no errors in production.log and the only error I see in mongrel.log
is
Rails signals registered. HUP => reload (without restart). It might
not
work well.
But that message only occurs during mongrel startup.
When I attempt to access my website via
www.xyz.com
or
xyz.com
I get a ton of mongrel errors complaining that
HTTP parse error, malformed request (127.0.0.1):
#<Mongrel::HttpParserError: Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails.>

I don''t even know where to begin to look to solve this problem so I
would appreciate any pointers.
Am I missing some route.rb statement that needs to handle
127.0.0.1:12001 ?

Seriously, deep in the bowels of the Internet World Domination Headquarters, Tim Berners-Lee kills a kitten each time you put spaces in a URL.

Depending on where the space occurs, it should be encoded either as %20 (in the path portion) or as + (in the query- string portion). In my experience, even using + rather than %20 in path components (such as your filename) will work properly even though it might not be strictly correct per some RFC. -Rob Rob Biedenharn Rob-xa9cJyRlE0mWcWVYNo9pwxS2lgjeYSpx@public.gmane.org http://AgileConsultingLLC.com/ rab-/VpnD74mH8+00s0LW7PaslaTQe2KTcn/@public.gmane.org http://GaslightSoftware.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Replacing the spaces with hyphens every and ... everything works. Wow. I thought I was chasing a wild good but instead I found the goose that lays the HTML eggs. Thanks!!!!
