Hi John!

 

I think it might be that apache2.2 handles http post packets stricter than
version 2.0…

As said before I see the packets arriving at the web server, but they are
just ignored.

The request isn’t even logged in the access log of apache, that’s why I
assume an apache problem.

I’ve already changed the network card on one box and reinstalled the other
on new hardware (HP DL320 G2).

 

I’m out of ideas…

Subject: [Catalyst] IE6/7 HTTP POST form problems

Hi!

 

Since about two month I’m fighting a problem some IE users have: on send of
a form they don’t receive an answer from the web server.

Tcpdump shows that the packets arrive at the web server but apache2.2 just
ignores them.

I disabled https on the internal site to make debugging easier but the
problem still exists.

The time the error occurred first was about the same as I upgraded from
apache2 to 2.2 (debian etch).

I search for bug reports on apache2.2 but didn’t find any.

 

Swapping mod_perl for fastcgi didn’t change anything either.

It also makes no difference if the client accesses the web server directly
or over a proxy.

Strange is that the problem never occurs on my workstation, neither with IE6
(MS virtual pc image) nor with IE7.

 

Has anyone experienced something similar or has suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

With best regards

Alexander Hartmaier

Sorry, I think you'll need to start adding a ton of debug output to see
what's going on.  I'm not sure if this is a Catalyst issue or a networking
issue.  IE tends to play a little rough with the rules, as I am sure you
know.

 

If you are sure the problem is inside Catalyst you can try running Apache in
debug with Apache::DB (http://search.cpan.org/~fwiles/Apache-DB-0.13/DB.pm
<http://search.cpan.org/%7Efwiles/Apache-DB-0.13/DB.pm> ) to see if you can
spot where the requests are being ignored.

 

Or try a stripped down Apache with just mod_perl installed.  You can compile
it very light.  I am actually doing with to make an version of apache that
only does mod_perl, for example.

 

Since you don't have the problem I am guessing it could be trouble with the
clients network connection or computer.  Do they have this problem with
other applications.

 

Tell us a little more about your catalyst setup and why you suspect the
trouble is inside of Cat and not in the network or configuration.   Good
luck.
