Synopsis: Apache - broken CGI interface? State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: coar State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 4 12:34:52 PST 1999 State-Changed-Why: On re-reading this, I think I see what's going on. Yes, a CONTENT_LENGTH metavariable MUST be supplied by a CGI/1.1-compliant server when starting a script and supplying a content-body. It is based on HTTP/1.0 in this regard, and HTTP/1.1 for bodies that aren't sent with chunked transfer-encoding. Chunked T-E isn't supported by CGI/1.1 at all. It looks as though something is trying to hand a chunked body to a CGI script, and that's bogus. For CGI/1.1, if the server passes a body, then it must also pass a CONTENT_LENGTH metavariable.
