I'm still not clear about the case where a form submission
includes no
mention of a field, for instance a select dropdown where you don't
select anything.
I think in that case, the form does not even submit
an empty field - it omits the field entirely from the submission. I
guess I need to write a test.
I think it should submit the form with no value for that field.
I mean, the browser omits the field entirely. What I want to test is
how a CGI::Untaint handler behaves when you ask it to untaint a key
that isn't even in the submitted data.
The tests required are:
1. When a dropdown has a null value. In this case parameter should
be present with a value of undef.
2. When a /(multi)?select/ has a null value. In this case the
browser request omits the parameter.
3. When a checkbox has a null value. In this case the browser
request omits the parameter.
4. A /text(area)?/ is null. parameter == undef
5. Submits also seem to provide an undef value to the browser.
for cases 1 and 4, the absence of a parameter in the browser request
probably means that someone's doing something suspicious with your form.
Sorry I'm not in a position to write the tests myself at the moment.
