>Description:
After a CGI-Script returns (only POST method) i get some HTTP-Headers in
the document. Example Output:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<TITLE>Passwort f. HTTP-Server ändern</TITLE>
<body>
<h1>Passwort wurde ge�ndert</h1>
</body>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 1998 15:16:58 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3b3
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
After this i get the "internal error" message "<h1>OK</h1>"
>How-To-Repeat:
If you wish i can send you the .shtml and cgi script (python 1.5 with
mod_python)
>Fix:
I think the problem is that the programm does not check if a header-string
is empty and always appends newlines. [spurious newlines are added; grep
for "\015\012" through 'src/main/http_protocol.c']
I think you bvputs/rvputs (or a wrapper around this) should test.
To hide the "OK"-Error-Message i applied this patch:
diff --recursive -u apache_1.3b3/src/main/http_protocol.c apache_1.3b3-modified/
src/main/http_protocol.c
