Subject: Bug and Possible Fix in JK 1.2.8 (I am not sure where/how to post this)
Hi,
I have found a bug and possible fix in the latest version (1.2.8) of the JK Connector for Apache+Tomcat.
The bug:
JK “converts” user http HEAD requests made to Apache into http GET calls to Tomcat
The fix:
There seems to be in a error in jk_ajp_common.c , inside the method static int sc_for_req_method(const char *method, size_t len).
The switch statement is incorrectly returning the GET method for the HEAD case.
Here is the buggy part of the method:
case 4: switch (method[0]) { case 'H': return (method[1] == 'E' && method[2] == 'A' && method[3] == 'D' ? SC_M_GET : UNKNOWN_METHOD);
………
The fix:
case 4:
switch (method[0])
{
case 'H':
return (method[1] == 'E'
&& method[2] == 'A'
&& method[3] == 'D'
? SC_M_HEAD : UNKNOWN_METHOD); // REPLACE GET BY HEAD
The fix worked, at least for me.
The bug occurred in a Linux Red Hat Entreprise, Kernel 2.4.21-27.EL , EMT64 Processor (x86_64 GNU/Linux)
Can you please forward this email to the right place? Sorry if I’m not following the proper rules to report this, but I don’t have much time to learn about bug/patch submission methods on jakarta. I did search your bug database but did not find this bug anywhere. I hope this can be of some help anyway. This is my first contribution to the open source community since years, and I wouldn’t sleep at night if I missed this opportunity to give something back, after having received so much from it.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivo
