Abstract

PoolParty Thesaurus Server Does Not Load After Update to Firefox 17

Mozilla made some changes to the HTTP headers in Firefox 17 that makes it incompatible with PoolParty Thesaurus Server.

Warning

These instructions assume you are upgrading a PoolParty default installation for GNU/Linux or Microsoft Windows with the PoolParty Tomcat folder installed at these locations:

  • /opt/poolparty/tomcat

  • C:/Programs/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0.

To fix this, you have to replace the following file with this connection-min.js
