SID-01614: Set EDITMETHOD bug (causes webserver to loop)

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	5.1.0	Perl version:	5.8.8
Category:	CategoryError	Server OS:	SLC5.8, kernel 2.6.18-308.20.1.el5, x86_64	Last update:	10 years ago

The following TWiki ML causes the webserver to loop and the page not to render. The problem occurs even with the code encapsulated in <verbatim> </verbatim>. AFAICT The problem only occurs when the topic has no TOPICPARENT metadata field.

I have checked a recently submitted previous support forum question with ?raw=debug and that topic has a TOPICPARENT metadata field and so I am expecting (and hoping!) the bug will not manifest here when this topic is created.

The code is,

<verbatim>

• Set EDITMETHOD = %SEARCH{"* Set EDITMETHOD = " type="regex" format="$pattern(.* \* Set EDITMETHOD = ([^\n]*).*)"}%
