Subject: [PATCH] logo.cgi: Fix for bug13795 - captive portal not displaying uploaded logo
Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2025 17:21:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250106162144.20480-1-adolf.belka@ipfire.org> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3018 bytes --]

- Something changed in some package in CU188 that means that the existing method of
   printing the content type to the browser no longer worked.
- I tested it in some stand alone code and even if using text/txt for the content-type
   print statement the File::Copy::copy then resulted in an Internal Server Error with
   the same message as with the image file which was "malformed header from script
   'logo.cgi': Bad header:".
- I tested it with text, html, image and application. In all cases the error message
   about a bad header was provided.
- Did some searching and found an alternative way to explicitly print the header info
   which is what I have used in this patch change.
- With this approach, in the stand alone code, I was able to get an image, html code or
   text shown in the browser correctly and without any error message.
- I then used this new method in the logo.cgi code as submitted here and tested the
   change in my vm testbed and the image was shown in the captive portal correctly.
- So this change fixes the problem with the logo not being shown but I have been unable
   to identify what changed to stop the method that worked prior to CU188 from working
   any more.
