SID-01830: Include URL failes on AIX server

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.0	Perl version:	5.8.8
Category:	CategoryError	Server OS:	AIX 6.1.0.0	Last update:	10 years ago

I try to Include a page in a topic:

%INCLUDE{"http://url.com/example.html"}%

The page is a service in our in-house network. The TWiki-Server is in the same network. If I load the topic with the INCLUDE Variable I get a page with a error:

"TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information. Can't call method "clone" on unblessed reference"

{INCLUDE}{AllowURLs} is enabled. LWP 5.69 installed

Discussion and Answer

The related error message in the Apache error_log is: [Thu Nov 21 15:37:37.776696 2013] [cgi:error] [pid 14352500:tid 515] [client xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:54899] AH01215: Can't call method "clone" on unblessed reference at /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/HTTP/Message.pm line 53.

I just tested on my local TWiki-6.0 install. The INCLUDE of a URL works as expected.

Not sure why it does not work for you. Googling around it could be related to a expired session?

Is there any difference if you include a URL on the internet?

Yes, if I include a URL on the internet I have the same error. It seems that the "http" is the problem. %INCLUDE{"Web.Topic"}% works fine.

There are any Tips when installing TWiki 6.0.0 on an IBM AIX Version 6.1 and Apache 2.2.4?

By the way. In our "old" productive TWiki-4.3.1 on AIX 6.1 with Perl 5.8.8 and Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) mod_auth_kerb/5.3 mod_ssl/2.2.10 OpenSSL/0.9.8h DAV/2 the INCLUDE of a URL works as expected.

Not sure, this could be a bug that shows up just on AIX. Some debugging is needed.

I install TWiki-4.3.1 instead of TWiki 6.0.0. INCLUDE of a URL works fine

-- Sebastian Eberlein - 2013-11-25

It looks like a bug that is specific to TWiki-6.0 on AIX. It needs some TLC. You can debug and provide a patch, or you could hire a consultant to do that for you. This is how you can pay back and support open source.

Now I install TWiki-5.1.4, Sat, 16 Feb 2013, build 25114 on the same environment as TWiki 6.0.0. The INCLUDE of a URL works as expected. It looks really like a bug only in TWiki-6.0 on AIX. How can I debug this Problem?

-- Sebastian Eberlein - 2013-11-26

On TWikiDebugging I recommend to start with TWiki::Net.

As a first step file a bug report at TWikibug:WebHome.

If this is important to you and you do not have the time or skills I recommend hiring a TWiki consultant.

For what it's worth, ~/twiki/bin/statistics gives the same error for me on TWiki 6.0 and AIX 6.1.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
