Description of problem: When attempting to use "Inline Login with Body Preservation" (when a POST to a protected resource is intercepted with a login page, and then the POST is resent to the resource after the login page is submitted), the original POST body of the first request is dropped by apache. This is an upstream bug, and I would not normally do this, but all attempts to get the httpd team to pay any attention to the bug (and the proposed fix) have failed. I have put a test case in the upstream bug, a proposed fix, and sent numerous requests for help to the mailing lists etc. All to no avail. There is a "unverified" fix available (made by be) in the upstream bug, but I don't have the apache internals expertise to verify it doesn't break something, but it works for me. I use RHEL and Fedora, so I don't really care if upstream gets fixed (well, not true, but I did really try). Upstream bug: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53692 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-2.4.4-3.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. use the test case in the upstream bug. 2. 3. Actual results: POST is dropped, and coverted to a GET. Expected results: POST body is available to login.cgi (or whatever is rendering the login page). Additional info:

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
