ESIGate : fixed ETag and preserveHosts issues.

October 4th, 2010

I just checked in two fixes for ESIGate (previously WAT) :

  • one on ETag : was causing ETag headers to be ignored
  • another one on cache : was causing an issue with preserveHost option enabled. This one was pretty major since it may cause content of different websites to be mixed up if these sites were using name virtual hosts on the provider.

These fixes may change the behavior of your site if it has been tested using the buggy features.

Both fixes are available in the Trunk version and will be included in ESIGate 2.16.

Update : Fixes will be available in ESIGate 2.18 after all (see comments)

Java doesn’t like 3D support in Virtual Box

August 15th, 2010

A few days ago, I had issues installing ElasticPath on my Windows VMs : the installer’s window never showed up. At first, I suspected that the installer was simply not compatible withVirtualBox.

But things started to become really strange when I tried to debug the Java process launched by the installer (which was eating all CPU time) with Visual VM or JConsole. Both tools were unable to start.

After a quick search on Virtualbox bug tracker, here is the answer :

Any Java Swing/AWT application will crash if 3d support was selected in Virtualbox guest additions. (Virtualbox 3.2.X and Only on JVM > 1.6u6)

See this bug report for details : http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6873
