Hi,
Appologies if this is to the wrong list, I thought I'd start here
to see if I'm doing something wrong first, and then move to the
dev list if I can't resolve my problem. None the less, a bug report
is attached below.
After porting one of my mod_perl apps from 1 to 2, I thought that I
had it working but then later found that for some users, POST form
data was not available. In other words, when they would submit the
form data all of the CGI.pm param()'s were empty even though in my
Apache access_log I could see that they had made a POST request. About
50% of users were affected and I still have not found a pattern amongst
them that distinguishes them from those who are unaffected. GET
requests with form data from these same people seem to work fine
(although this app needs to POST it's data unfortunately).
I tried many different things in my troubleshooting but to no avail,
the only thing that I can do to make my app work is remove it from
mod_perl configuration so that it is being handled by the regular
perl interpreter. Then, it works fine. Unfortunately my application
is quite large (996 lines) so I'm refrain from posting it here yet.
There are no errors in the error_log when the user submits; it looks
like just another request from the server side.
The relivent portion of my httpd.conf is as follows:
----- httpd.conf -----
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /www
ServerName krunk.soc.shaw.ca
<Location /trend.soc.shaw.ca/trend*.pl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
PerlModule ModPerl::Registry
PerlModule GD
PerlModule GD::Graph::lines
PerlModule CGI
PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlModule DBI
PerlModule Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
<Perl>
$ENV{SYBASE} = "/opt/sybase";
$ENV{LANG} = "en";
use ModPerl::RegistryLoader;
ModPerl::RegistryLoader->new->handler("/trend.soc.shaw.ca/trendgraph.pl",
"/www/trend.soc.shaw.ca/trendgraph.pl");
ModPerl::RegistryLoader->new->handler("/trend.soc.shaw.ca/trend_fe.pl",
"/www/trend.soc.shaw.ca/trend_fe.pl");
</Perl>
----------------------
Thank you in advance for any help. I realize that this is probably
not enough information to resolve an issue (unless it is a known
issue), but with some guidance I can provide some more information
or even the afformentioned source code if desired.
Cheers,
Scott Beuker
