Subject: x2gobroker only works in debug-mode

Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:06:05 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: x2gobroker
Version: 0.0.0.5

When I have X2GOBROKER_DEBUG=1 in /etc/default/x2gobroker-daemon, it
returns the correct information:

$ curl "
http://x2go-broker.dsl.lan:8080/plain/inifile/?task=selectsession&sid=term-internal
"
Access granted
SERVER:testterm1.dsl.lan:22

However, when I set X2GOBROKER_DEBUG=0 or completely remove that line, this
is what I get:
$ curl "
http://x2go-broker.dsl.lan:8080/plain/inifile/?task=selectsession&sid=term-internal
"
404 Not Found

The above described phenomenon is intended behaviour.

In X2GOBROKER_DEBUG mode (=1) both http request methods (POST, GET)  
are possible and deliver a proper result. The curl command issues a  
GET request.

Without X2GOBROKER_DEBUG mode (=0) the GET request is disable and  
result in 404 Not Found. X2Go Client however, will just work fine, as  
it issues a POST request.

Greets,
Mike

With X2Go Session Broker you specify username and password as URL parameters.

That is: you end up with your user password in the firefox URL   
history. I will add a warning to the config file that hints the   
testing admin to that.

This behaviour is not about functionality, but about awareness.

Mike

I have just committed an attempt to make the X2GOBROKER_DEBUG usage  
more clear:
