Can't retrieve form params using post methods, $r-notes and Apache::Request
Hi all, I have the following configuration. Location /my SetHandler perl-script PerlAccessHandler MyCheck PerlHandler MyHomePage /Location The PerlAccessHandler checks if the user cookie is valid and set a $r-notes() entry to pass the user id to the MyHomePage handler which do his work. In the MyHomePage hanlder i'm using Apache::Request (my $apr = new Apache::Request($r); ) to get the parameters of the form from which i'm calling the handler. If i put the form method in POST, I can't get any parameters, the form is reloaded, but if i put the method to GET then everything is fine. If I use the following configuration Location /my SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler MyHomePage /Location and use either the POST or GET for the form everything is fine. If I put a PerlAccessHandler not using the $r-notes() method then everything is fine. So my problem must come from the $r-notes(). Apparently it messes up with the POST parameters. Does somebody have an idea why it doesn't work with the POST method ? I've lost quite a lot of time with that, even if it works with the GET i'd like to understand.

That seems pretty unlikely. Are you sure you're not trying to read the POST content twice? Maybe you're using a module that reads it? - Perrin
