[BUG] Script directive broken

[Lars Eilebrecht <La...@unix-ag.org>]

Hi,

has anyone tested the Script directive with Apache 1.3?

Some days I upgraded one of my production servers from 1.2.3 to
1.3b4-dev and all the PUT stuff stopped to work (I'm using
the Script directive to assign a cgi script to the PUT method).

When I use Apache 1.2 everything works fine, but using 1.3b4-dev with
the same configuration files it fails. Apache 1.3 always says that
the method PUT is not allowed for the specified URI.
And no messages are logged to the error logfile. :-/

I haven't yet found the time to track down the error... Has anyone an
idea what's causing the problem or does Script work for anyone with 1.3?


ciao...

According to Marc Slemko:

After hours of testing I'm not able to make it work on the
Solaris box. :-((

I tested it with 1.3b on my Linux box at home and it works without problems,
but NOT on the Solaris 2.6 machine. (?)

I used a stripped access configuration with the following
two sections:

  <Files /export/home0/providers/testuser/public_html/.put.cgi>
  Options +ExecCGI
  </Files>
  <Directory /export/home0/providers/testuser/public_html>
  Script PUT /~testuser/.put.cgi
  </Directory>

When I send a PUT request to "/~testuser/foobar" I see the following
entry in the access log:

  doubleshadow.unix-ag.org - - [20/Jan/1998:00:19:20 +0100] \
  "PUT /~testuser/foobar HTTP/1.1" 200 1033

Status 200... BUT the client received the following:

  HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
  Date: Mon, 19 Jan 1998 23:19:19 GMT
  Server: Apache/1.3b4-dev
  Connection: close  
  Content-Type: text/html
  [...]

Status 405 for the clients and status 200 in the log??

As I already mentioned Apache 1.2 works as expected on Solaris, but 1.3
does not... *sigh*

Can anyone with a Solaris 2.6 box verify my problem?
