Re: [hobbit] Strange "problem" with refreshes



I found the answer.  It's pretty simple really...
I was using SSL with my hobbit server. With SSL'ed web pages, refreshes force you back to the top of the page. NonSSL'ed web pages (which I had totally disabled) work fine.
Now I just need to hack up the header files so the secure areas point to SSL even when I'm looking at the nonSSL pages. But as I already ran into the header files while debugging this, that should be trivial. 

Thanks for the help!

I am using this for an Apache server:

Latest and greatest package from the default repo's.  Using CentOS 5 (which
is RHEL based).

I honestly have no idea how the page stays position.  It has to do something
along the lines of cache, but that is a client side thing so...my ideas stop
here =(

Please let us know what you come up with.  I know I would like to know the
resolution to this.

Brilliant thought....

The demo does maintain position exactly as I want.  So it definitely isn't
hobbit in general.  My best guess now is it somehow lies in my Apache.
That's just RedHat's stock Apache 2.0.52, but it may be related to a
module (I shutoff the mods I wasn't using).... at least I have something
to poke at now....

Troubleshooting technique!

Use the Hobbitmon demo on the project page.  This was the only page long
enough (for me - 1680x1050 resolution) for me to scroll down and

maintain my

position.

Does this maintain position for you, Scott?
