[users@httpd] Apache Losing Post Data

Greetings,

I have a fairly busy application, 11 million pageviews a month or so, that
uses Windows 2003, Apache 2.0.5x and php 5.2.3 using mod_rewrite on about
90% of the requests.

The application periodically and without an obvious reason just completely
loses all POST data. The php $_POST object is completely empty and the raw
post data in php://input are completely empty. This happens about 1 out of
100 or more POST requests. We've ruled out direct (code level) application
bugs because for most people the error never occurs and because the same
person can resubmit the form POST a few times and it will get through.

Does this issue sound familiar to anyone? I've looked through the usual bug
databases and I see hints of our problem but the solutions they mention
don't ever work or they have no solution.

Any input out there?

The requests are not posted by Javascript and SSL is not involved. We're
pulling out hair out on this one. There are certainly *similar* issues out
there, but this one seems to be unique.

[users@httpd] Antwort: [users@httpd] Apache Losing Post Data

Posted by Di...@eurotours.at.
Hello Stephen,

i see also the problem on my webpage but this isn't in my case a apache 
problem.
This happens, when in a form the request is submit via html button, but 
the form
submit is done with javascript when onClick is fired. pls look to the 
return stmt
from the js function. Current I have to search again for the exact 
problem/
browsers/solution.

regards Dietmar
