Package: cups
Version: 1.3.10-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I've been getting "400 Bad Request" errors on CUPS clients and in the CUPS log file (after enabling debug-level logging).
I think the problem is this:
cupsdNetIFUpdate: "eth0" = hostname.domainname.local:631
Given an entry of...
192.168.196.7 hostname.domainname.local hostname
and a cupsd.conf ServerName of...
ServerName hostname
Listen 631
.... CUPS ties to 192.168.196.7 and hostname "hostname.domainname.local", subsequently refusing non-FQDN "hostname" in Host: headers.
I think this must have popped up in the most recent update. I also think that it's a bug. If ServerName is "hostname" (and this address resolves), CUPS should accept print jobs with that Host: header and not expect the FQDN hostname (which is usually made-up on local subnets anyway). It is absurd for CUPS not to accept print jobs to its own "ServerName".
Setting "ServerAlias *" gets CUPS printing again (presumably because it now accepts the mere "hostname"); so does removing "hostname.domainname.local" from /etc/hosts and just using the hostname without domainname.
In short, CUPS shouldn't require the FQDN to be used, especially if the ServerName is the non-FQDN; or it should perhaps create an automatic alias with both the FQDN and non-FQDN variant.
Thanks for your time,
Wouter
