PHP Bug Type: Apache2 related
Bug description: POST improper handling of application/x-www-form-urlencode
Description:
------------
When sending POST data by xmlhttp-ajax method from jscript client to 2.2.3
apache server (PHP receipt container), the spaces in the data are not
converted to "+" signs as they are supposed to be with MIME type
application/x-www-form-urlencode. It worked before with older PHP and
Apache. Apache.org sent me over here.
I can get around this by doing a php str_replace(" ","+") to the data.
Reproduce code:
---------------
for the record:
client (partial)-
======
var ops = "data_container.php?file="+ filenm + "&user=" +
user + "&sid="+Math.random()
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=loadSizes;
xmlhttp.open('POST', ops, false);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
xmlhttp.send("xx__val=" + Base64data);
Server-
<?php
$file = $_GET['file'];
$user = $_GET['user'];
echo "<form name='form1' method='post' action=''
enctype='multipart/form-data' target='_blank'>";
$pre_contents = $_POST['xx__val'];
