I was checking with the help of cgierror.log and yes the problem is the HTTP_REFERER. Now I don't get an error but I remain in the hobbit-enadis page instead of returning to the info page.
It do the same from firefox on a linux machine.

I've recompiled a clean 4.2.0 with all the patch installed and the hobbit-enadis script is working well when called from the menu (so i think i did something wrong during the yesterday patch). I continue to get errors while enabling/disabling tests directly from the info page
The test will be disabled/enabled rightly but the script will put me on this page http://itromlx10/hobbit-seccgi/(null)
The code uses the HTTP_REFERER variable provided by your webserver's CGI, which in turn gets it from the "Referer:" header that the browser puts into the HTTP request.
For some reason your browser doesn't generate this header. After doing some google'ing, I can see that this is not uncommon when using the Internet Explorer browser. It would probably work fine if you switched to Firefox.
Except some personal firewalls (Norton) also filters this out when passing requests to webservers.
So: Could you try changing this for me: In web/hobbit-enadis.c, around line 320 there is this line: printf("Location: %s\n\n", xgetenv("HTTP_REFERER")); Could you change that to printf("Location: %s%s\n\n", xgetenv("BBWEBHOST"), xgetenv("SCRIPT_NAME"));
That should make it work with your browser also.
