[horde] Dev on H6 starts again

Hi Ralph,

 

I have the issue as well. I can observer several things and I think they are related.

Here my details:

 

a)

If I leave my Horde on a tab open for long time and then try to use it again, it fails with internal error.

 

Looking into the logs, I see:

 

2025-04-11T22:39:18+02:00 EMERG: HORDE [horde] TypeError: htmlspecialchars(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given in /var/www/torben/web/horde-deployment/vendor/horde/horde/templates/login/login.inc:12

Stack trace:

#0 /var/www/torben/web/horde-deployment/vendor/horde/horde/templates/login/login.inc(12): htmlspecialchars()

#1 /var/www/torben/web/horde-deployment/vendor/horde/horde/login.php(422): require('...')

#2 {main} [pid 32788 on line 74 of "/var/www/torben/web/horde-deployment/vendor/horde/core/lib/Horde/ErrorHandler.php"]

 

b)

I played around with gollem and see the strange URL revealing all array elements of the horde var:

 

https://webmail.dannhauer.de/horde/login.php?url%5Banchor%5D=&url%5Bparameters%5D%5B_t%5D=1744404421&url%5Bparameters%5D%5B_h%5D=UyLcVK8nxfr8rnGO9E38Nrd6kXk&url%5Braw%5D=1&url%5Burl%5D=https%3A%2F%2Fwebmail.dannhauer.de%2Fgollem%2F&app=gollem

 

using gollem with the (freshly added) mobile view throws as well an error with  htmlspecialchars(), therefore I added a debug output to see the variable structure:

2025-04-11T22:59:45+02:00 ERR: HORDE [horde] Vars1: Array

(

    [anchor] =>

    [parameters] => Array

        (

            [_h] => fZpfUwgxGtkGfWkWLJnbTcC2XoE

        )

 

    [raw] => 1

    [url] => https://webmail.dannhauer.de/gollem/

)

#6 {main} [pid 50740 on line 74 of "/var/www/torben/web/horde-deployment/vendor/horde/core/lib/Horde/ErrorHandler.php"] 

 

Solution strategy?

One approach could be to ensure that htmlspecialchars() is always called with a string. But this must be done on all calls, and I’m not sure what the vasic benefit/idea beyond the horde vars is.

Therefore I think that this approach is not the best one, especially as the malformed URL needs to be fixed.

As you mentioned you have an idea, I hope this information helps you to spot the bug. Lets phone if we should join forces here. For now I work in other corners hoping you’re successful :)

 

Thanks, Torben

hi simon, can you please provide a snippet from the horde log? I have an idea what the issue might be.

Hi Simon,

The ugly timeout error I have on my side as well. It’s on the todo list.

As I migrated from H5 to H6, I had not to reset all clients from scratch. Me and my bubble uses iPhones, I just deleted all of them in the activesync page and they resynced properly.
