Posted by kroppyer Posts 346 Registered at 2010-02-05 15:25:55	2013-09-22 12:35:41 - (www.)sailonline.org [minor remark]
	I am running linux (openSUSE 12.3, with KDE) and using different browsers (mostly Firefox and Chromium). This "problem" is both on old and new server. I don't think every browser/OS has this, but I'm almost sure I'm not the only one: www.sailonline.org is considered another website as sailonline.org regarding local storage and cookies. This means that my client settings (racelists and more) on sailonline.org are not the same as on www.sailonline.org. It also means that I sometimes seem to need to sign in twice. It also has its advantages: I can be signed in as kroppyer on www.sailonline.org, and as someone else (sol, or someone whose askes me to watch his boat) on sailonline.org, and I can use two different sets of settings for the client. So what's the problem then? Well.. the links on (www.)sailonline.org do not always point to the "current website". For example: The "go to race"-link on the right side of the page points to "/windy/run/<some_number>/", which translates to: www.sailonline.org/windy/run/<some_number>/ when I'm on www.sailonline.org or sailoneline.org/windy/run/<some_number>/ when I'm on sailonline.org This is good. But the "go to race"-links on the "races"-page always point to www.sailonline.org/... even when I'm on sailonline.org For me this is only slightly inconvenient, not worth having you guys scanning the whole website on absolute links that should be relative. There is a quicker (cleaner) fix (that even improves SEO things and stuff): redirect sailonline.org to www.sailonline.org (or the other way around), like google.com does. But this breaks my workflow (having two sets of settings). Every change breaks somewones workflow I want the guys that work on sailonline's http server to know this (I am not asking you to change anything though), and I'd like it to hear from people if they encounter the same problem/advantages. When you don't know what it is, it's just irritating that you sometimes have to sign in an extra time before you get to the client, but if you know why, it's really an advantage .. okay, I didn't think it'd take so much space to explain this minor remark.. Have a good one -kroppyer --- Last Edited by kroppyer at 2013-11-07 15:42:29 ---

	Thanks for notifying this issue, with the new server completely built from scratch I have much more control on the server setup. Redirecting www.sailonline.org to sailonline.org would probably make sense to keep the urls bit shorter. I had actually not been aware of the possibility for simultaneous boatsitting etc using the different addresses but could sound like a potential useful feature, we might think of having few separate addresses to the server for this purpose.

	When I boat sit or want to log in as sol to check a new race, I just open Pale Moon, Opera, or, if necessary, IE. (I'm still pissed at FF after they started pushing out daily rebuilds that often broke something I liked to use). --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2013-09-23 02:20:41 ---

	Had to restart SOL to clear Flag L notice for end of Server Test one.

	Another query for the Tech people. I am currently unable to download the weather from Brainaid. It worked fine in Server test one but not now. The download lights up, the link shows in long code bottom left but nothing is downloaded. I updated to qtVlm 3.4-2 yesterday. Could that be the problem? All resolved with a re-install. Cheers. --- Last Edited by Go4iT at 2013-09-24 22:55:04 ---

	I have now actually added the "*.sailonline.org" rule to our DNS. That means, that for instance if you are boatsitting for someone, you can start a new browser window with boatname.sailonline.org and you can log in as a new user in that window and keep your own boat logged in in the old window. So, if I would be boatsitting for kroppyer, I would open "kroppyer.sailonline.org", fill in kroppyers username and password and run the client there. The name actually can be "boat1.sailonline.org" or whatever you please it to be, but using the boat names for this is probably most clear.

	nice! however, I can't get the client to work on the new subdomains. On www.sailonline.org, sailonline.org, node1.sailonline.org the client works, but sol.sailonline.org, kroppyer.sailonline.org, asdf.sailonline.org it doesn't. When I say the client doesn't work, I mean: - client itself loads OK - data doesn't load (client doesn't even make requests to the server) resulting in a clock as cursor, blanc map, disabled chat-tab and a dashboard with lots of zeros and a single 1 If the client would work on these subdomains as well, this would be GREAT ____ posted from kroppyer.sailonline.org --- Last Edited by kroppyer at 2013-11-07 15:06:03 ---

	Ah, I should of course have tested this properly before posting. The problem was in crossdomain.xml only allowing access from sailonline.org or www.sailonline.org. That has now been fixed so it should work now. (You might need to clear your browser caches first)

	It works! Awesome! Thanks! Especially useful for people that move practice marks a lot.

	moving practice marks is easy, getting them to stop where you want them to, is more difficult. None so blind
