Public bug reported: NCIPServer will crash on Ubuntu 16.04 if data is posted with mime type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded or application/xml. This is because of changes made to Dancer that do not work with certain modules from HTTP::Body which Daner requires.
I believe that this will also happen on Debian 8 Jessie and Debian 9 Stretch, but I have not thoroughly tested it on those distributions. A long term fix for this issue would be to implement bug 1673974 and remove the dependency on Dancer 1. Another possible long term fix would be to move to Dancer 2. In the meantime, you can apply the attached patch to /usr/share/perl5/HTTP/Body/XForms.pm. This is not an actual bug in NCIPServer, but a bug in a dependency that shows up as a bug in NCIPServer. :) ** Affects: ncipserver Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Affects: libdancer-perl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "Patch for HTTP::Body::XForms" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732485/+attachment/5009525/+files/HTTP-Body-XForms.patch ** Also affects: libdancer-perl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Crash with mime type text/xml on recent distros + Crash with mime type application/xml on recent distros -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732485 Title: Crash with mime type application/xml on recent distros To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ncipserver/+bug/1732485/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
