Places where mod_cas shouldn't be used

[Andrew R Feller]

Can anyone explain why mod_cas cannot be used in the scenarios described
by Scott Lundgren's email
(http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2005-September/001579.html
<http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2005-September/001579.html> ) from
September 2005?  Just to recap the list of scenarios where mod_cas
doesn't work:

 

*	mod_cas not should not be used with pages that use frames
*	directories of images files should be moved out from under
mod_cas protection because browsers (IE 6 & Firefox 1.06) do not know
how to handle the redirects for the requests for images embedded in an
HTML page
*	directories of CSS files should be moved out from under mod_cas
protection for the same reasons
*	mod_cas cannot be used with server generated images where
scripts return an image stream

 

I'm interested in reproducing these scenarios in particular items #2 and
#3; I have not been successful to cause mod_cas to break. (I am using
the VA Tech modified mod_cas code)  Do these limitations still exist?

 

Thanks,
