DO NOT REPLY [Bug 46530] New: File upload using 3rd party cgi-bin binary longer working

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46530

           Summary: File upload using 3rd party cgi-bin binary longer
                    working
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.11
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.csd.toshiba.com
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: rudy.amid@tais.toshiba.com


We are having an issue with Apache HTTPD version 2.2.10 (including latest v11),
and a third party cgi-bin binary for uploading files.  The binary is
precompiled for Solaris OS and we do not have a way to change it. Prior
versions of HTTPD (such as 2.2.9) worked just fine with this binary.  The
binary is called “cp_upload.exe”.

We execute the binary using a POST submit using multipart form.  With version
2.2.10+ the following error occurs:

ERROR:
Usage: cp_upload  –a  configure

Using Fiddler, we captured the response of the form POST and it’s below.  
Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Based on this output from Fiddler data, we
suspect the problem is somewhere between HTTPD and the cgi binary, but we don't
know how to debug this. We may be missing something here.  Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Since you get the usage message of your cgi I'm wildly guessing it could be BZ
46380. Are you using the worker MPM? 46380 does not occur with prefork.

You can apply the patch

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=726636

and report back, whether it helps, so that we add it to the backport list.

We are using MPM.  I will try it with prefork and report what happens.

We did suspect it might be mod_cgid when we saw this 2.2.10 revision notes:

  *) mod_cgid: Pass along empty command line arguments from an ISINDEX
     query that has consecutive '+' characters in the QUERY_STRING,
     matching the behavior of mod_cgi.
     [Eric Covener]

I got the patch, as you suggested, from:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/generators/mod_cgid.c?view=markup&pathrev=726636

But compiling it with 2.2.11 I get the following error below.

mod_cgid.c: In function `get_req':
mod_cgid.c:350: error: `core_request_config' undeclared (first use in this

Please use a user support forum such as the users mailinglist for help
questions.

When you do, be sure to tell us what changed when you updated apache.  Did you
run exactly the same build (e.g. using the old config.nice) and overlay it on
the old one, or did you install it somewhere new?  And what happens when you
run your program under a simulator such as cg-eye offline?

You meant "We are using the worker MPM" ?

Sorry, you misunderstood my link

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=726636

You can not simply copy the f8ull mod_cgid from trunk to version 2.2. What you
can do is using the link to the changes (link below "text changed"), which is

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/generators/mod_cgid.c?r1=726636&r2=726635&pathrev=726636

There you can see, that the fix is a simple one line change:

--- httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/generators/mod_cgid.c     2008/12/15 07:40:57    
726635
+++ httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/generators/mod_cgid.c     2008/12/15 07:47:30    
726636
@@ -201,7 +201,7 @@
     char *w;
     int idx = 0;

-    if (ap_strchr_c(args, '=')) {
+    if (!(*args) || ap_strchr_c(args, '=')) {
         numwords = 0;
     }
     else {


you can apply to your version of 2.2.11. I checked 2.2.11, the same line that
was changed in trunk is there in 2.2.11 as well. In 2.2.11 it is line number
206 instead of line number 204.

Regards,

Rainer

Thank you, Rainer.  The mod_cgid.c fix works for us and we've confirmed it in
several regression tests.
