----------------------------------
Summary: HTTP server decoding is broken
Key: DIRMINA-920
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-920
Project: MINA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Protocol - HTTP
Affects Versions: 2.0.7
Reporter: Jeff MAURY
Fix For: 2.0.8, 3.0.0-M1
HTTP server decoding (aka HttpServerDecoder) is broken is several parts:
1) it make the assertion that PUT and POST request must have a non -zero length
body. This is false, thing about REST request: an empty PUT request can be use
to create a server initialized entry and an empty POST request can be used to
change properties where the value is stored in the URL
(/rest/1234/status/cancelled). In that case, an exception is thrown but the
state is not reset so remaining decoding will fail
2) it also make the assumption that only PUT and POST request can have a body
where I can't find a significant case but I tried a GET request with a body on
Google (GPE), Microsoft (IIS) and Apache (Apache) and Google was the only
server to reject the request as malformed.
