I am working on a port of Apache 1.3.20+mod_ssl 2.8.4 to TPF.  A couple
months ago I wrote about problems I encountered with cgi-script processing
from Netscape and not with Opera or IE.  After looking at this a little
more and comparing the POST received on TPF vs. Linux on a PC, it appears
to me that the TPF Apache server is not seeing beyond the first chunk of a
chunked POST.  We see different behavior between browsers because Opera and
IE send the POST in one chunk whereas Netscape uses multiple chunks.

Before I rummage in the guts of the Apache+mod_ssl code, can anyone tell me
if there have been reports of chunking problems on EBCDIC hardware with
mod_ssl?  I've looked at RFC 2616, but it doesn't show the precise
interactions when EBCDIC translation and encryption are involved, and I
suspect this may be where the problem is.   Hmmm, I haven't tried this on
OS/390 yet; it would be interesting to see if Apache+mod_ssl on OS/390 has
the same problem.
