Truncated POST-String by more than 8000 chars
------- Additional Comments From thomas.apsel@ixos.de 2004-05-12 10:45 -------
I have the same problem using Apache httpd-2.0.45 on HPUX 11.11. Post requests
are truncated by apache if the were send to a cgi script. You can easily
reproduce this problem with the following cgi script and html page by posting
a text longer than 8000 characters. The reported "Content length" and "Data
length" differs.
post.html
=========
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<form action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/testpost.pl" method="POST">
<textarea name="review" cols=100 rows=40></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Publish">
</form>
</BODY></HTML>
cgi-bin/testpost.pl
===================
#!perl
use CGI;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html>\n";
print "<head>\n";
print "<title>TestCgi\n";
print "</title>\n";
print "</head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print "<pre>\n";
read (STDIN, $in, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
print "REQUEST_METHOD: $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}\n";
print "Content Length: $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}\n\n<P>\n";
print "Data Input: $in\n\n<P>\n";
print "Data Length: ", length $in;
print "</pre>\n";
print "</body>\n";
print "</html>";
exit;
