Summary: 16-bit CGI COM files not executed properly
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.0.55
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: mod_cgi
AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
ReportedBy: bugzilla@amadis.freeserve.co.uk
True 16-bit COM files aren't being executed properly in 2.0.55/Win32 in
/CGI-BIN/ Even with stub batch file wrappers. Platform=XP Home 2002/SP2
Version 5.1.2600
Stub batch wrappers for the same set of COM test files works just fine on the
1.3.x (latest release)
The stub executes and any ECHO statments in the stub are honoured but no COM
output (stdout) appears on 2.0.55. This differs on 1.3.x where the same COM file
will be executed OK via stub. Log files show it is not being spawned and fails
with O/S error 5. The COM files are being identified as CGI by the looks of it
an an attempt is made to spawn but this fails. This has been replicated on a
wide variety of COM files. The same COM files tested OK over a wide range of
other webserver software e.g. Abyss, Xitami etc. Some execute COMs directly
others require BAT wrappers.
Apache 2.0.55 is running in XP as a service (local system account) and 1.3.34 as
an application via a CMD shell

Executing the COM file directly in /CGI-BIN/ even if it outputs the correct text
headers to stdout produces a 500 error with the same log entries in error.log

COM files may be interpreted as plain text/html on user-downloading from non-CGI
website area (these files have such a content header within the first 3 bytes of
the start of file following a JMP instruction. I guess this may be a browser
fault (Mozilla) but it could be that Apache is attempting a "magic byte"
signature ID which is upset by short executable byte count with following HTML
header content. I mention it in case it is of relevance in how the files are
detected and what method of spawning is chosen for them

Although this example is a custom generated COM file it appears to apply to COM
files from other sources and some 16-bit EXE files (which appear to be COM files
in reality) generated by certain compilers. Can produce examples on request.
I've had a quick scan through the source code and in the Bugzilla reports as
well as searching in Google and I'm still stumped. There are a number of similar
reports in Google to error 720005 (OS5).
It looks like the strategy for spawning COM files differs in Apache 2.0.x to
1.3.x but 1.3.x works OK.
Suitable/simple COM test files can be generated free by pasting text or HTML
into an online compiler at http://compiler.amadis.sytes.net and choosing the
"text compiler". Alternatively early compilers such as Turbo Pascal or some
assemblers.

Oops. The stub bat ought to have been pasted in. I forgot the debug content
header. It was actually...
- - - SNIP - - -
@echo off
echo Content-type: text/html
echo.
echo Running xxxxx.com in Apache...
xxxxx.com
echo.
echo DONE
- - - SNIP - - -

Can also confirm that the same fault diagnosis when running Apache 2.0.55 in
App- mode as Administrator(rather than service-mode) in XP home. The error
indicates a rights issue but probably isn't due to the user account or method of
running apache.
