Description:
Maybe this bug is related to Bugs 31417 and 41293. But I'm not sure,
because this bug occurs in 5.2.0 and 5.2.2.
The problem is:
When sending POST requests via the XmlHttpRequest active-x, on some IE6
installations this won't work properly. The POST request is successfully
sent to our webserver, and the raw http post data is filled correctly,
but the $_POST array is not filled with any information.
I can only guess that the error has something to do with some special
headers/encoding (Content-Length?) which is done by the
XmlHttpRequest-ActiveX on some IE6 installations.
And: Yes, I know that it's hard to find the reason for this behaviour.
And it's not easy to reproduce this bug ( because on most IE6
installations everything works fine).
But I guess it's worth to take a look at the php-source, so that
someone may get an idea which could cause this bug.
I'm trying to help you as much as possible. Unfortunately I cannot
reproduce the error by myself, so I have to ask the affected customers
each time we 'possibly' fixed the bug.
There must be a bug in php, because the raw-http request is filled
correctly (and we don't touch the $_POST var anywhere else in our code).
Reproduce code:
---
var_export($_POST);
$rawPost = file_get_contents('php://input');
echo \n$rawPost;
Expected result:
array('postVar1' = 'postValue1',
'postVar2' = 'postValue2')
postVar1=postValue1postVar2=postValue2
Actual result:
--
array()
postVar1=postValue1postVar2=postValue2
--

Previous Comments: [2007-05-10 16:44:50] php at bitrockers dot de Could it be a problem that the POST request comes as post. Here an excerpt of our logfile: Customers (not working) request: post /ajax/mypageProfileEdit/? HTTP/1.1 200 99 application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8 148 Request (my IE6, working): POST /ajax/mypageProfileEdit/? HTTP/1.1 200 123 application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8 148 Does it make a difference for PHP if the POST request is lowercase? Apache doesn't seem to have a problem with that. I don't know why the customers IE6 sends XmlHttpRequest as lowercase post?

Now I have to ask the customers, which are having the problems, to try again. As soon as I get the response, I will post the Content-Type of their requests. [2007-05-10 15:07:19] php at bitrockers dot de The Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8 At least that is the content-type from what I see when I do the request in my browsers. Due to the fact that this problem occurs only at a few IE6 installations I'm not absolutely sure that there is something on the client-side which in some way modifies that header before sending it to our server. Is there a way to log the Content-Type of the request in PHP or apache, to make sure that this is not the problem? [2007-05-10 14:56:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] What is the content type of the request?
