Hello,
I have a client I need to handle post requests for that uses
Content-Encoding: xml and Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
Now the Content-Encoding is no problem I plan on using sax to parse the
content. The chunked transfer encoding is where I have run into issues.
I tracked it down to the part of the mod-python code that handles
reading the request body from apache.
In two places it uses:
rc = ap_setup_client_block(self->request_rec, REQUEST_CHUNKED_ERROR);
As a test, I modified the code to use REQUEST_CHUNKED_DECHUNK and it
worked great for me. Now I imagine that this may cause some problems
for scripts using mod-python to handle requests but I couldn't think of
any that wouldn't already be quite serious with a request of MAX_INT
length. What if anything am I missing and if I am not, could this
change be incorporated into the main tree?
