[users@httpd] mod_auth_form and original POST body

Hi All:

I'm using apache 2.4.4 compiled on Centos 6.3 and attempting to use 
mod_auth_form for "inline login with body preservation".

The problem is that the POSTed body (from the original/unauthenticated 
page) is lost forever when the login page is rendered, so it seems 
impossible to know what to put for the value of the httpd_body variable.

I have tried both a cgi and a mod_include based script.   I have

KeptBodySize 65536

along with one of

ErrorDocument 401 /cgi-bin/login.cgi

or

ErrorDocument 401 /login.shtml

How can I access the original POST data during the login page rendering 
in this scenario?

It seems the fundamental problem is the ErrorDocument handler is 
discarding the POST during internal redirect...

Yes.  You can see that below.  I tried KeptBodySize 65536.

I think my troubles are related to an open bug actually:

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53692

So it seems I'm on the right track but that bug is stopping things from 
working.

Looking in the debugging it seems the keptbodysize input filter runs 
after the form data has already been consumed by mod_auth_form. Although 
I'm not sure if that means anything...

Hello David
Have you tried mod_request->keptbodysize
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_request.html#keptbodysize

All the best Paul
