similar to: two bugs in rsync 3.0.6 - ampersands in filenames, double quoting required

Hey all, I'm writing a tool: http://www.subspacefield.org/security/hdb/ It is very similar in some ways to rsync, except it's meant for backing up locally to removable HDDs, and it keeps metadata around when the HDD is removed. I figured I'd ping people here to see if they are interested in participating in the brainstorming sessions. I figure you know a lot more than me about this

I am having an annoying problem displaying the labels of a select box correctly where there is an ampersand contained within the label string. On a form being rendered with the form_for helper the collection_select reads data from a Mysql 5.075 database the text stored in the database is "Surabaya & Surrounding Areas" when rendered and displayed in firefox 3.6 or safari is is

I often push files from my user account over SSH to my web server, and want them owned by www-user, which may not have a login shell, should never accept remote logins, and who may not have a ~/.ssh directory (and if it did, it would be under the wwwroot, ack!). Currently I push as root and then do a chmod, but isn't there a better way? While I'm doing this, the files are temporarily

Just curious if the protocol sends a request and waits for a response, or whether it can multiplex multiple requests on a single connection. This could improve performance over high latency links, if a lot of time is spent waiting for the response (i.e. when the hashes match). -- Travis is an organic computer peripheral. My emails do not have attachments; it's a digital signature that your

Anyone know what this is supposed to mean? 366305 files to consider IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion I keep getting this, and so it refuses to delete any files from a mirror. But what is the supposed I/O error? Can we have it give us some kind of clue? dmesg doesn't show any clues. -vv --stats --progress doesn't help much. I suppose I could strace/ktrace it, but is it

Greetings all. I''m using the Microsoft "NorthWind Traders" database "orders" table as test data for the Rico LiveGrid JavaScript. The problem I''m noticing is that some of the records in the "ShipName" field contain ampersands -- which for some reason are not being escaped by Rails. Rails does in fact automatically escape all of the other

Hi All, Dovecot 1.0.rc7 Not sure if this is a problem with Outlook, or with Dovecot, or to do with encoding in Linux. Whenever a user enters an ampersand into an IMAP folder name, it dissapears from outlook. These folders appear on the ext3 filesystem as &- for example drwx------ 5 mailusers mailusers 4096 2006-10-10 17:54 .INBOX.Networks.London Networks.NDCs.WH&-P joint working

Hi all, I have a very easy questions (I hope). I had measure a property of plants, growing in three different substrates (A, B and C). The rest of the conditions remained constant. There was very high variation on the results. I want to do address, whether there is any difference in the response (my measurement) from substrate to substrate?

Hi, there I'm trying to get the value of the Mean Square from the ANOVA model summary that comes from specifying the error term, and am wondering if one can actually do this ( I know it's possible when using anova(lm) objects and the like, but I'm having a tough time with it under this framework). There does appear to be some indexing in the output of this type, but perhaps not

I have a new email server (postfix/dovecot/mysql) with accounts migrated from another server (different platform) and email addresses with ampersands like "r&d at domain.com" that worked on my old email server are not working now. I'd like some help tracking this issue down. Can anyone tell me if this looks like a postfix, dovecot or mysql issue? Some log info follows.

I'm just getting to grips with using ode function and have used the examples and vignettes to produce a small model of a one-pool, michaelis-menten, enzyme kinetic reaction. The rate of flux of substrate into pool A is constant (fluxoa) however the rate of flux out of pool A is controlled by the HMM equation (v = Vmax/ ( 1 + (Km / Concentration A )) ). This function works fine and

My form tag looks like: <%= form_tag :controller => "admin", :action => ''update_preset'', :id => @preset, :popup => params[:popup], :editor => params[:editor] %> which I want to be rendered something like: <form action="/admin/documents/update_preset/?editor=1&amp;popup=1" method="post"> but instead I get double

Hi everyone, I''ve encountered a HUGE problem, which may not be RoR-oriented, but there might be a workaround somehow. See, at this moment, I''m unable to send AJAX requests back and forth when the information contains an ampersand (''&''). In essence, request is never completed. The odd thing is that it only happens with Firefox (IE and Opera works fine).

Hi, I have been playing around with the autocomplete field in Rails 0.13. I have noticed that if I have an ampersand in the value such as "A&E", if I click on the entry in the autocomplete list, I am left with just A in the text box. I have narrowed it down to: String.unescapeHtml() in prototype.js as what strips the & and what follows it from the value. It strips it

Wine has been working great on my Mac, but when I tried to start Black & White after installing, I can't get it open because the filename is literally "Black & White". Does anyone know what to do about the ampersand in Terminal? Or is there another way to start installed programs in Wine that I'm missing other than through Terminal? Thanks!

I am part of a large worldwide Active Directory and all of our individual site NT domain names have an ampersand symbol in them (for example: VWS@ROCHESTER) Samba 2.2.6pre2 and older won't join this domain name, or allow connections to it from users in this domain. The logs state that the domain name is "VWS_ROCHESTER", the code is squashing the @ to an _ causing all

I''m using acts_as_ferret and when I call Object.find_by_contents("A & B"), Ruby dies with the following message: ^Cruby(5014,0xa000cf60) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3) ruby(5014,0xa000cf60) malloc: *** error: can''t allocate region ruby(5014,0xa000cf60) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug ruby(5014,0xa000cf60) malloc:

In Rails 2, if I used an url in a plain text message it was sent as is, but it seems to be changed in Rails 3. The url http://ab.cd/ef?g=1&h=2 seems to be now translated to http://ab.cd/ef?g=1&amp;h=2 even if the message is plain text. Is it correct? I''ve written my tests previously considering it should not be encoded in plain text messages and these tests are failing when

We recently received the following bug report for the python-markdown implementation: > The "&" are escaped in URLs. > > An example: > [Link](http://www.site.com/?param1=value1&param2=value1) > > Should output: > <a href="http://www.site.com/?param1=value1&param2=value1">Link</a> > > Currently outputs: > <a

Hi, I'm analyzing experimental results where two different events ("T1" and "T2") can occur or not during an experiment. I made my experiments with one factor ("Substrate") with two levels ("Sand" and "Clay"). I would like to know wether or not "Substrate" affects the occurrence probability of the two events. Moreover, for each
