hi list,

I have a strange problem, that occurs for some clients, for most not: we have a form, that is setup by javascript dynamically (form consits of one input field, one textarea and 2 hidden fields)

...
form.setAttribute('action','/cat/postings/post_comment');
form.setAttribute('id','input_form');
form.setAttribute('name','input_form');
form.setAttribute('method','post');
form.setAttribute('enctype','multipart/form-data');
form.setAttribute('accept-charset','utf-8');
form.setAttribute('onSubmit', 'return check(' + parent + ')');
...

as said, most of the time it works without a problem, but sometimes I get the following error:

[error] Caught exception in engine "Wrong Content-Length value: xxx at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Catalyst.pm line 1636"

which is thrown from Enigne.pm

# paranoia against wrong Content-Length header
my $remaining = $length - $self->read_position;
if ( $remaining > 0 ) {
    $self->finalize_read($c);
    Catalyst::Exception->throw(
       "Wrong Content-Length value: $length" );
}

from debugging I found out, that $remaining in fact is $length, so it seems, that nothing was read from the post body

HTTP::Body is version 0.9, I changed multipart/form-data to application/x-www-form-urlencoded, still no effect. to see the form, you have to be logged in, which works fine, I can identify the user from the session, so cookie etc. working fine

any clue what could happen here?

thanks
josef
