Boost appears to function correctly and pages appear to cache OK, however the error log is being filled up with dozens of these errors every minute.

Message	parse_url(http://) [<a href='function.parse-url'>function.parse-url</a>]: Unable to parse URL in /data/sites/wikijoba/modules/boost/boost.api.inc on line 165.
Severity	error
Hostname	::1

I have disabled Boost in the meantime. If anybody can shed some light on the source or solution of this problem, I would be most grateful!

Thanks,
Chris.

In response to my original post, the value of $base_url is "http://www.wikijob.co.uk" however it seems that for some reason, this is sometimes 'http:///', which causes an error. This suggests the problem is outside boost and somewhere else. I have hack-fixed the problem by inserting the line

$base_url="http://www.wikijob.co.uk";

just before line 165, which temporarily solves the problem.

I get the same error when the cron job runs.

It should not rely that global $base_url is set.
Can be empty if run via cron.
There should be some additional condition, if it's not set, set from HTTP_HOST

Closing all 5.x issues; will only reevaluate if someone steps up #454652: Looking for a co-maintainer - 5.x

Reason is 6.x has 10x as many users as 5.x; also last 5.x dev was over a year ago. The 5.x issue queue needs to go.
