Bug 90079

Description of problem:
Upon completing and executing the following script with the proper 
permissions, the following error occurs.  This error did not occur until after 
the upgrade from 7.2 to 9.0 took place.  Unfortunately, this part of the 
testing was overlooked or if it's safe to say, not expected.  

With php, we have no problem capturing the ip addresses (echo $REMOTE_IPADDR) 
but, the phpinfo() environment didn't provide us with any other ip information 
for capturing variables such as the host, referal, etc... which is why we are 
requiring a fix for 9.0's web server configuration from RH 7.2s OS. Here's the 
code we were using on 7.2 that will no longer work on platform 9.0 with 
failing results at the end of this message copied and pasted directly from the 
browser:  (perl was tested and seems to be working)


#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw 


$REMOTEIP= $getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); 
$REMOTEHOST= $getenv('REMOTE_HOST'); 
$REFERAL_ADDRESS= $getenv('HTTP_REFERER'); 

@SUBNET_NUMBERS = split (/\./, $REMOTEIP); 
$PACKEDIP = pack ("C4", @SUBNET_NUMBERS); 
($REMOTEHOST) = gethostbyaddr ($PACKEDIP, 2); 

print "Content-Type: text/plain \r\n\r\n"; 
print "<pre>"; 

print "Your address is: ", $REMOTEIP, "\n"; 
print "Your hostname is: ", $REMOTEHOST, "\n"; 
print "You came from: ", $REFEREAL_ADDRESS, "\n"; 
print `date`, "\n"; 
print "This server: ", `uptime`, "\n"; 
print "</pre>"; 

exit(0); 


Here's the error message pasted from the browsers Mozilla and IE6: 

Server error! 
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your 
request.

Is it quite possible that Apache wants to do the LF -> CRLF conversion itself, 
and therefore, considers CRLFs an error condition.


Is there a fix for this?  If so, please provide


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

Expected results:
Results of the remote nodes is configuration should display.  Once displayed, 
we will incorporate it into the rest of our processform (html and php) for 
email confirmations

Additional info:  Hope this information is enough to provide a solution.  
Thank you.
