Hello everyone,
I am currently trying to develop a http file upload application with progress indication. Until now, I used the following rough algorithm: - save CONTENT_LENGTH to a temp file - write STDIN to another temp file while it is being transferred - with these two files, an other script can calculate and output the progress in a different frame while the upload is still running - when STDIN is completely written to the temp file, the STDIN handle is closed, and re-opened to read from the temp file. - call $cgi_object->upload($field) to get a handle for the actually uploaded file, and finally save it to a permanent file. This one works great in a mod_perl and CGI.pm 3.04 environment. The problems start when running mod_perl2 and CGI > 3.10. Somehow, the more recent CGI now recognizes messing around with STDIN. Methods like upload(), tmpFileName() or even param() return undef after STDIN has been touched. Other way round, after initializing a CGI object with $cgi_object = new CGI; without doing anything, STDIN seems to be empty. Is there any way to configure an Apache 2.0 / mod_perl2 server in order to avoid this behaviour? Can anyone imagine an other approach to a workaround? Thank you very much in advance. [str]
