Description Jan Kratochvil 2004-08-07 13:59:47 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2)
Gecko/20040803

Description of problem:
After proxy request:

POST ... HTTP/1.1
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
[missing Content-Length]

it will get passed as:

POST ... HTTP/1.1
[no Transfer-Encoding]
[no Connection]
[no Content-Length]

which gets (BTW I think incorrectly) interpreted as POST without any body.

Current httpd-2.1 CVS version proxy handles it by default using:

POST ... HTTP/1.1
[missing Transfer-Encoding]
Content-Length: real-value

after using "proxy-sendchunks" environment it will use:

POST ... HTTP/1.1
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
[missing Content-Length]

Both such resulting requests are compatible.

Attached patch just uses the current CVS snapshot of mod_proxy.
It obsoletes the older backport of mod_proxy in the current patch
"httpd-2.0.48-proxy11.patch".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.0.50-2.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use SonyEricsson P900 mobile phone and specify Apache as its HTTP
proxy.
2. Post some page.
3. See the webserver logs.


Actual Results:  CGI did not get any data input.


Expected Results:  CGI should get the input.

Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
