I'm hitting this bug (I think):
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53692
This bug makes the mode described in the docs. for mod_auth_form
called "Inline with Body Preservation" impossible, because it's
impossible to access the POSTed data from inside the login handler.
(I've tried using a cgi like /cgi-bin/login.cgi, and via mod_include
using smth like /login.shtml and KeptBodySize).
The magic, or lack thereof, occurs at around line 979 of
mod_auth_form.c.
The code sets up a subrequest and uses that to ap_parse_form_data().
The kept_body_filter is not invoked until after this happens, which
could be the crux of the problem.
Unfortunately I don't know much about apache internals and perhaps a
few minutes of expert guidance could point me in the right direction
for how to fix this.
It doesn't seem that ap_parse_form_data has any provision for saving
the brigade anywhere so I imagine this will have to be done via a
kept_body, but I'm really lost at this point.
Any ideas?
I've tried extensively to debug this - but it seems the kept_body is
not passed properly to the request in "internal_internal_redirect" and
that also the "f->ctx" (filter context variable) is not passed on
either, and without these two things it is hopeless. Maybe this is
intentional for "ErrorDocument" handling, but it makes this particular
(documented) feature completely broken AFACT.
If there's someone on the list that can provide any feedback
whatsoever it would be really helpful.
Can anyone confirm that "inline login with body preservation" has ever
worked in any situation for them?
Wow for a "dev" list there is nobody who can even comment in any way
whatsoever. Where do the devs for httpd live for real? IRC? Anyone?
Bueller?
