Description Joel Uckelman 2010-03-07 14:28:50 UTC
Description of problem:

I get the following error message when calling Bugzilla's xmlrpc.cgi, which uses SOAP::Transport::HTTP:

[Sun Mar 07 07:17:07 2010] [error] [client 146.50.208.39] [Sun Mar  7 07:17:07 2010] xmlrpc.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"HTTP_TRANSFER_ENCODING"} in pattern match (m//) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/SOAP/Transport/HTTP.pm line 530.

The offending line looks like this:

  my $chunked = ( $ENV{'HTTP_TRANSFER_ENCODING'} =~ /^chunked.*$/ ) || 0;

Since the Transfer-Encoding header will often not be present, wouldn't it be better to first check whether the key we're asking for exists?

  my $chunked = (exists $ENV{'HTTP_TRANSFER_ENCODING'} &&
                 $ENV{'HTTP_TRANSFER_ENCODING'} =~ /^chunked.*$/ ) || 0;


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

perl-SOAP-Lite-0.710.10-1.fc12.noarch


How reproducible:

Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the URL for Bugzilla's xmlrpc.cgi.
  
Actual results:

Call fails with the above error.


Expected results:

No error.

Comment 1 Joel Uckelman 2010-07-09 12:39:56 UTC
This still happens with perl-SOAP-Lite-0.710.10-1.fc13.noarch in Fedora 13.

Comment 2 rvalue 2010-10-12 00:34:03 UTC
Had the same problem with Fedora 13 distribution of Bugzilla & perl-SOAP-Lite packages.

Worked around by undoing my own configuration of Bugzilla to use mod_perl; the default (mod_cgi?) Apache configuration does not exhibit this error for me.

Are you using Bugzilla with mod_perl?

Comment 3 Paul Howarth 2010-10-12 06:44:44 UTC
This is reported upstream at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=55618 and is supposedly fixed (along with various other issues) in SOAP::Lite 0.712.

Comment 4 Joel Uckelman 2010-10-12 08:56:26 UTC
rvalue: no, I'm not using mod_perl.

Paul: It's good to hear that it's been fixed.

Comment 5 Iain Arnell 2011-05-04 06:38:41 UTC
Re-assigning to Petr has he's the new package owner and has recently built 0.712 in rawhide, but may not have noticed this old bug.

No, I haven't.
Thanks, Iain.

I'll check if 0.712+ really fixes it and update current Fedoras if appropriate.

Comment 7 rvalue 2011-05-04 07:24:41 UTC
I think our BZ machine is still much the same setup if you want me to confirm a fix.

Comment 8 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2011-05-04 12:05:42 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Yes, please :)
I merged f1[345] with Rawhide, v0.712. Let me know if it works for you. I'll submit an update if it does...

* Error reproduced w/ existing install setup

* Attempt to install package from link w/
# rpm -Uvh perl-SOAP-Lite-0.712-3.fc13.noarch.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
	perl(Class::Inspector) is needed by perl-SOAP-Lite-0.712-3.fc13.noarch

(so, it seems this dependency is introduced with this package?)

* Attempt to install said dependency:
# yum install perl-Class-Inspector
(runs to completion)

* Re-do install
# rpm -Uvh perl-SOAP-Lite-0.712-3.fc13.noarch.rpm 
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:perl-SOAP-Lite         ########################################### [100%]

* Re-started apache
# service httpd restart

* The error is no longer being logged, and so I presume this issue is fixed (but I'm still getting a HTTP 411 response trying to access bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi) - I'll have a look at that in the morning, I guess.

Comment 11 Petr Šabata 2011-05-04 14:32:22 UTC
Yes, I changed the dependencies a bit.
Thanks for the test. I hope the new error isn't related :)

Not creating an update for F14 since the package is 'deprecated' there.
There's a code in f14 branch, no reasons stated anywhere.

Would anybody know why?
