Okay. Here's it in simple form:
< This > is link to my monkey http server. And here its URL: palm.zapto.org.
Problem: Clicking link won't work at all. But pasting URL to a window will work just fine.

I belive it's because Monkey doesn't know how to handle referer information.
Anyone has a solution to fix this?

So it's wrong with my settings?

It would seem that it's dropping traffic from Referring URLs.

It likely has to do with the following bug: < http://sourceforge.net/tracker....=401570 >

The author said about three months ago a bugfix release should soon be forthcoming, however there is no activity in CVS, so it's a little hard to help.

I can confirm that if I go to your site with referer header turned off, it works just fine, but when I turn it back on, I get a blank page.

Thru further experiments with your monkey, which you may have records of in your access logs, if the referer string contains question marks, monkey barfs. No error, no bad headers, nothing. Just barfs. Connection closes.

As crusadingknight has pointed out, this is not a problem exclusive to your monkey with your settings, but to all monkeys.

Using the link ck gave you, you may be able to make a patch and recompile. Aside from that, I don't know how to help.

Actually... It's index.txt

Anyway. I doesn't matter what file is linked (or is it valid or not). Problem is in monkey's code. It cannot serve any files if referer information is sent.

Ok. I will forget monkey httpd and I'll try cherokee httpd sometime.
Posted by Winter Knight on Dec. 05 2006,11:59
I don't know anything about cherokee. You could try lighttpd. There is an extension in the repository. Actually, I don't know anything about that either. Except that it is probably easier to set up, seeing as there is already an extension. If you decide to use cherokee instead, please make an extension for the rest of us. :)

Sorry nobody was able to help you with monkey. The problem is, monkey is buggy, beta, pre-1.0 software. And, it appears to be dead. I'm not going to call it quite yet, but I'm pretty sure it's dead.

As some < statistics > show there's been no updates lately. Sad. Monkey really has all what a simple httpd  needs + optional php support.

I'm just wondering if monkey will be replaced with another httpd in future relases of DSL? Any signs?
