How to Reproduce

While doing a GET operation on /log/trunk/boost/archive/array/iarchive.hpp, Trac issued an internal error.

(please provide additional details here)

I was at ​http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/log/trunk/boost/archive/array/iarchive.hpp?rev=38329 and I clicked "revision log"

Request parameters:

{'limit': u'100',
 'mode': u'follow_copy',
 'path': u'/trunk/boost/archive/array/iarchive.hpp',
 'rev': [u'38329?action=stop_on_copy', u'38329'],
 'stop_rev': u'',
 'verbose': u'on'}

Oops, I meant that I checked "follow copies" and hit the "update" button.

Strange, it works for me (repeating the reproduction steps on your page).

Looks like in your case:

'rev': [u'38329?action=stop_on_copy', u'38329'],

was the problem (in particular, the presence of the extra, buggy, value u'38329?action=stop_on_copy').

But I've got no clue why you had that and not me. Is the problem always reproducible for you? And what if you're doing this when no logged in?

[Christian Boos]

Dave, could you give us more details? Does this still happen? Was that web browser dependent?

This ticket approaches the 3 months limit, so I'm asking again for feedback before closing ;-) (#7816 reminded me about it)

Weird; it's working for me now, too.
