Description

Applies to: All modules, OpeniT (Web) server.

Except for Availreporter-reports, the GUI uses the HTTP GET-method for
communicating with the Open iT server. In certain cases, e.g. when
generating reports with lots of classification values specified, the
request string would become too long for some Java Virtual Machines to
handle, resulting in a Java IO error. This update has added functionality
to check this and use POST instead of GET when the request-string passes
a certain length.

Installation

Unpack tar file in e.g /tmp/patch on the Open iT server/client. Do the 
following as root:

  cd /tmp/patch
  ./patch.pl
