Description Karl Grindley 2009-03-06 03:59:38 UTC
Description of problem:
If SSLClientVerify for a <directory> is configured, such as:
<Directory "/var/www/html/site">
  SSLVerifyClient require
  SSLVerifyDepth  10
</Directory>

And mod rewrite is configured for this site: (via .htaccess in before mentioned
directory)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Submitting a POST with variables defined do NOT show up on the script/php side.
 Disabling mod_rewrite or SSLVerifyClient for the path will cause POST
variables to be defined.

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


How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup an https server with a certificate bundle and turn on sslVerifyClient
2. install a client certificate in your browser
3. setup mod rewrite rules
4. load any page, and try to submit POST variables.  phpinfo() will show no $_POST is defined.
  
Actual results:
no $_POST variables in php land with this configuration

Expected results:
need those $_POST variables

Ah, this is a known bug in the mod_ssl per-dir-reneg code; I fixed it upstream a while back.  Thanks for the report.

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2009-03-06 10:40:39 UTC
Fixed upstream by: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=591393&view=rev

Comment 4 Karl Grindley 2009-03-06 14:43:05 UTC
Would it be possible to get this integrated into the next bug release of http/mod_ssl via RHN?

For my short term needs, i think i am going to try to patch the source rpm with your changes and see what happens.

Comment 5 Joe Orton 2009-03-06 15:04:59 UTC
The fix is now scheduled for inclusion in RHEL 5.4.  If you need a supported fix sooner please contact Red Hat Support.

Comment 6 Karl Grindley 2009-03-07 16:59:03 UTC
Fix works great!  i was able to recompile up the SRPM with the patch, and first round of testing looks great!  Thanks for the pointer.

Comment 7 Joe Orton 2009-03-09 11:45:25 UTC
