if you search from http://openguides.org/london/supersearch.cgi you get a page not found
Interesting... I've noticed that the search box on the Supersearch page is broken, and I've just done some more digging to find that:
I don't get the problem on un.earth.li The Oxford site seems to work correctly.
Anyway, the technical details are as follows:
The HTML is being generated by CGI.pm, in particular start_form, which has not been supplied with an -action parameter, hence it sould reinvoke the same script with a new query string.
What we are seeing is that something has munged forward slashes into %2F - but we want real forward slashes! This is getting prepended with http://openguides.org/london/ resulting in a mess.
Any idea where this extra munging is coming from? It could be that there are different versions of CGI.pm floating around.
I cannot reproduce the problem outside of OG London.
Help please.
Ivor.
