>Release: 1.3.9
>Organization:
apache
>Environment:
1. Solaris 2.5.1 with JDK 1.1.5 and JSDK2.0 as well as
2. Solaris 2.7 with JDK 1.2.1 and JSDK2.0
>Description:
We have a servlet that worked just fine on environment 1 running
Apache 1.3.9 + ApacheJServ 1.0
The problem is in a doGet() when we do like this:
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter (response.getOutputStream());
out.print("Some HTML header stuff...");
out.println("<P>host=" + request.getRemoteHost());
out.print("Some HTML footer stuff...");
out.close();
}
With Apache JServ 1.0 the request.getRemoteHost() returned the client-computers
hostname.
When we upgraded to Apache JServ 1.1 (both on environment 1 and 2) the
request.getRemoteHost() started returning an empty string.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above code snippet.
Unfortunately the servers are on our intranet :(
>Fix:
I have studied the webcvs tree, but haven't been able to figure out what goes
wrong.
There has apparently been some work done to the assignments of env_vars
in readData() in org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.java between 1.0 and 1.1.
