I tried to reproduce your problem, but to no avail.
Some questions (in oder to nail down the problem):
a) does your Apache-1.3.23 run on a unix platform, or on some
CRLF-platform (e.g., windoze)?
On unix, I had no problem whatsoever to do a
"netcat localhost 80 <test.in"
Also, I tried varying the "Content-Length" between 9 and 11
(no change, everything worked) and also to append a second
request to the request pipeline (no change, everything worked
fine once I told the php script to supply a Content-Length
response header):
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 08:24:50 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) PHP/4.1.1 DAV/1.0.3
X-Virtual-Host: deejai.mch.fsc.net
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.1
Content-Length: 10
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html
test=test
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 08:24:50 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) PHP/4.1.1 DAV/1.0.3
Content-Location: Welcome.shtml.en
Vary: negotiate,accept-language
....
b) what caused your original problem? Is it the Netscape-4.6 default
handling of POST requests?
c) you say that the reply is completely empty, not even a
status line? No Content-Type?
d) if actually *nothing* is returned, there *MUST* be a line in the
error_log. What does it say? If none is there, try to increase
the LogLevel.
e) Is a proxy involved in the request? Which one? What happens if you
bypass it?
Attached you can find the php script used in the test, and the
input file.
