Apache::Registry, mod_perl interface, and post data
Hello,
I'm writing an Apache::Registry and I can't seem to retrieve POST
information. I usually write handlers rather than Apache::Registry
scripts, so this is a mystery to me. From a sample form:
form method="post" action="post.pl"
input type="hidden" name="hello" value="world"
/form
To this simple Apache::Registry script:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
my $r = Apache-request;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "Post = ( ", join(", ", $r-content), " )\n";
Gives me nothing. My second thought was that Apache::Registry was eating
the POST information to feed it to the script via STDIN (for compatibility
with conventional CGI), so I tried this:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI ();
my $cgi = new CGI;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "CGI = ( ",
join(", ", map { ($_, $cgi-param($_)) } $cgi-param), " )\n";
The POSTed information has still gone away! Am I on crack?! This should be
the simplest script ever! Just to check, I ran the above script as a CGI
as the target of the same HTML form and it worked fine.
I'm using Perl 5.6.0, mod_perl 1.24_01, and Apache 1.3.14 on Solaris x86,
CGI.pm 2.56. The client I use doesn't seem to make a difference.
Humbly,
Andrew

Hello, JBI added a button and push it. It works. ;) Urgh, I had a button on my actual test page; it just magically disappeared when I retyped it in the e-mail. FWIW, after debugging it a bit further, I am getting a Content-length of the appropriate size, too. The Content-type is also correct for a POST; I sniffed the packets and the request is correct. Just no input. Nothing on STDIN, either. I'm frankly mystified, wondering if I'm just totally missing something obvious.

I don't think the problem is with what you posted. I tried your snippets on two different systems and they worked as expects. What's your config look like? Do you get the 'Post = ()' output from the Registry script? Are you running any other software that might interfere? --Jeff -- Jeff Beard ___ Web:www.cyberxape.com Email: jeff at cyberxape dot com Earth: Boulder, CO, USA

Thanks for forcing me to check my config and discovering that Someone left .pl's set to a different handler of their own, devious creation in UserDirs (this is a dev box) instead of Apache::Registry. Doh! Mystery solved. Thanks for the jolt.
