Yep, noticed this myself when re-writing it to check the input, should
have posted this first perhaps, but anyway, this is basically how we
handle the input:
sub handler($)
{
$^W = 1; # gripe about the little things
my $r = shift;
my %parm;
if ($r->method() eq 'POST') { %parm = $r->content(); }
elsif ($r->method() eq 'GET') { %parm = $r->args(); }
<snipped lots of more code>
And now, after the re-write with Apache::Request
sub handler($)
{
$^W = 1; # gripe about the little things
my $r = shift;
my $apr;
my %parm;
$apr = Apache::Request->new($r);
if($r->method() eq 'POST' || $r->method() eq 'GET')
{
my @keys = $apr->param();
foreach my $key (@keys)
{
$parm{$key} = $apr->param($key);
}
}
<snip of the same lots of more code>
So.. I can't really see how that would make us lose the parameters,
especially since we doesn't lose them all the time, which was the case
when I tried to get the same value twice...

We use ->new now. Since we always only create one instance of it I
thought there was no difference. Is instance known to be safer or so?
Also got the hint that this could somehow be connected to caching, but
since we when we output debug-messages see that handler() is called, with
no parameters in $r, I don't see how this could be. Any comments, and
suggestions of fix if this might be the problem?
Thanks again,
