Input Filter reading Body

[Christian Verdelli]

-  -- Hi, im writing my first simple input filters ; i need it to debug the request body (content of POST) coming to my Web Server before is handled by a third party contect handler module (which corrupt data). I simply want to print out the content of the body request sent by the client . I wrote this peace of code: static int redirect_wmlInFilter (ap_filter_t* f, apr_bucket_brigade* brigade, ap_input_mode_t mode, apr_read_type_e block, apr_off_t readbytes) { apr_bucket* bucket ; apr_status_t ret ; if ( ret = ap_get_brigade(f->next, brigade, mode, block, readbytes) , ret == APR_SUCCESS ) for ( bucket = APR_BRIGADE_FIRST(brigade) ; bucket != APR_BRIGADE_SENTINEL(brigade) ; bucket = APR_BUCKET_NEXT(bucket) ) char *data[bucket->length]; int len; apr_bucket_read(bucket,&data,&len,1); ap_log_perror(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_NOTICE, NULL, f->c->pool, "(IN) %s %s: %d bytes - %s ", f->frec->name, t, bucket->length , data ); else ap_log_perror(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_NOTICE, NULL, f->c->pool, "(IN) %s: ap_get_brigade returned %d", f->frec->name, ret) ; return ret ; } The filter is then registered as input filter in the AP_FTYPE_TRANSCODE phase. static void redirect_wmlRegisterHooks(apr_pool_t *p) { ap_register_input_filter(webifilter,redirect_wmlInFilter,ifilter_init, AP_FTYPE_TRANSCODE ); } To test it i simply post fake data with using curl : curl -v -d nameb=valueb http://myserver.myhost.com/postread.cgi Looking at the logs the instead of seeing the content body nameb=valueb , here what i get : [Fri Oct 20 00:42:40 2006] [notice] (IN)\twebicookiet20 bytes - \x01\x8b\xa7\x1b Maybe should i decode it before print it ?? Any suggestion will be appreciated  --
