[opencms-dev] Intermittent HTTP 403 errors

[Christian Steinert]

> My client's frustrated because he gets intermittent 403 errors when editing content or saving it and returning to the Workplace.  This happens mostly when he's using Internet Explorer but probably also in Firefox.  I'm using Apache, mod_rewrite, mod_jkl, Tomcat 5.5.17, OpenCms 6.2.1, Java J2SE 5.0 update 7.  (And currently a bottle of Stella Artois.)  I've turned off all host-based security at the Apache level.

> Symptoms: on entering the XML content editor, some FCKEditor toolbar icons don't appear and there are corresponding 403 errors in Apache's log; and on the times when this happens, it's usually futile to save-exit the document because the Workplace doesn't (fully) appear (or subsequently reload using the Workplace 'Reload' button) - instead, a 403 report appears in the browser window.  The 'Workplace 403 error', as I'll call it, usually only happens after there's been a problem loading some of the toolbar icons.

Dear jonathan,

this is very strange. No matter what opencms is doing - the images from apache should come through independent of any permission, shouln't they?
What happens if you load one of the icons through apache, without being logged in?
