From: jfrim at idirect dot com Operating system: Win98 PHP version: 5.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Request for method to always retrieve POST body
Description: ------------ Currently there exists no way in PHP to retrieve the POST body when a form is sent using multipart/form-data. This is a problem for implementing protocols like HTTP digest authentication, which require the server to calculate a hash of the received POST body. If making the POST body available on the php://input stream AT ALL TIMES regardless of the encoding type is impractical (possibly due to memory requirements when the POST body is very large), an alternative would be to stream the POST body, unaltered, directly to a temporary file. (Similar to the way files uploaded with HTML forms are streamed to temporary files referenced in the $_FILES[] superglobal.) This would allow authors to fully implement HTTP digest authentication in their scripts, and open up any other other possible situations where one might require an exact bit-accurate copy of the POST body. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41191&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41191&r=mysqlcfg
