Hi All,
After using the strace tools, there's a new find. It will stop at the
function call read()....
A infinite loop happens in server/core_filters.c ap_core_input_filter().
if (mode == AP_MODE_EATCRLF) {
apr_bucket *e;
const char *c;
while (1) {
if (APR_BRIGADE_EMPTY(ctx->b)) {
return APR_EOF;
}
e = APR_BRIGADE_FIRST(ctx->b);
rv = apr_bucket_read(e, &str, &len, APR_NONBLOCK_READ);
*<---------------
I guess this is the place gets stuck...*
if (rv != APR_SUCCESS) {
return rv; *<---- successful case will exit
via this place with the value of rv = 11. (APR_ENOSOCKET ??)*
}
c = str;
while (c < str + len) {
if (*c == APR_ASCII_LF)
c++;
else if (*c == APR_ASCII_CR && *(c + 1) == APR_ASCII_LF)
c += 2;
else
return APR_SUCCESS;
}
/* If we reach here, we were a bucket just full of CRLFs, so
* just toss the bucket. */
/* FIXME: Is this the right thing to do in the core? */
apr_bucket_delete(e);
}
I don't know why it's stuck here, and does it relate to the zero-chunk
packet that doesn't see in the client?
Thanks
Best regards,
honercek
