| Summary | 0010211: exchange and merchant do not return SPA pages anymore | ||||
| Description | Instead, they return an empty response when compression is requested/supported by the client, which is the default for most browsers these days. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | root@5638bf1b5435:/# curl --unix-socket /run/taler-merchant/httpd/merchant-http.sock -i 'http://backend.test.taler.net/webui/' --compressed HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2025 19:20:59 GMT Content-Encoding: zstd Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 0 vs root@5638bf1b5435:/# curl --unix-socket /run/taler-merchant/httpd/merchant-http.sock -i 'http://backend.test.taler.net/webui/' HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2025 19:21:32 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 3343 | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Note that I am unable to reproduce this *locally* with the master branch of the respective components. But for the merchant running locally on my dev machine, even when I run "curl --compressed", the server never returns "Content-Encoding: zstd". | |
| Interesting difference: On my system, according to ldd, the -httpd binaries don't link to libzstd. => Very likely compression using zstd is broken. | |
| More likely: zstd was not installed when the Debian packages were deployed, and then the compression on package installation failed. We never link against libzstd, that's normal! | |
| Fix committed to master branch. | |
