GIF does not show up 🔗 link

Hi 

I am using Hobbit 4.0.1 and I defined HOBBITLOGO as

HOBBITLOGO="<IMG SRC=\"/hobbit/gifs/qwest_logo.gif\" width=\"185\" height=\"77\" alt=\"Qwest Spirit of Service&#8482;\">"

in my hobbitserver.cfg file

It shows up fine in every page, eg. bb.html, except for maint.pl file

The source file on a bb.html, it shows like this

<FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica" SIZE="+1" COLOR="silver"><B><IMG SRC="/hobbit/gifs/qwest_logo.gif" width="185" height="77" alt="Qwest Spirit of Service&#8482;"></B></FONT> 

BUT, on maint.pl the same like looks like this:

<FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica" SIZE="+1" COLOR="silver"><B><IMG SRC=/hobbit/gifs/qwest_logo.gif width=\185\ height=\77\ alt=Qwest Spirit of Service&#8482\></B></FONT>


As you can see the quotes are missing and just showing the escape
character (\) on the broken link

I am using the maint.pl which line 432 and 433 looks like this

432: #open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}." \"hobbitdboard ".$filter."\" |");
433:  open (HOBBITDLIST, "bb ".$BBENV{'BBDISP'}." hobbitdboard |");

Any suggestion how to fix it?

Thanks

It's the way maint.pl parses the hobbitserver.cfg file that is causing
problems.

The ugly but functional fix is to define HOBBITLOGO without any
escapes or quotes. Like this:

HOBBITLOGO="<IMG SRC=/hobbit/gifs/qwest_logo.gif width=185 height=77>"

which results in HTML that is not completely valid, but it works.


The real solution is to pack maint.pl inside a wrapper that sets up
the environment for it so that it does not need to process
hobbitserver.cfg by itself (and get it wrong). That's for the next
version.
