Package: boa Version: 0.94.14rc21-amd64 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hi,
I recently installed the winhelpcgi.cgi program on my server machine, which breaks under boa because it expects to see a QUERY_STRING variable in its environment, even if it is an empty string for the case that no query string is supplied. This is unusual, but completely valid--it's explicitly required by the CGI spec * that the server MUST set QUERY_STRING, even if empty, and CGI programs can reliably use this to detect whether they are running under a web server. At the moment, I have a little shell script that sets the QUERY_STRING variable to "" if none is present in the environment and then execs the real CGI binary, but a real fix in boa would be appreciated. I could, of course, also patch a workaround into winhelpcgi.cgi directly. Cheers, Sabahattin * At the moment, that seems to be the (informational) RFC 3875. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
