Hi, After some time doing other things, I recently started to upgrade our installation. While doing this I got the new version of CGI.pm that uses XHMTL for default and, as a result, uses multipart/form-data as default encoding... Our websystem works in a 2-phase manner: a user requests an URI and the server transforms this initial request in serving a SSI template. The original URI is included from this SSI (thus as a subrequest). To make this work I convert POST requests to GET requests (so the parameters are not lost, based on a Geoff-example) and make sure that they get populated to the subrequest (via a transhandler). This works... worked :-( The content method of Apache.pm explicitly bails out if the form is not send in the old way. Now I can get CGI.pm to do this (btw, this is not as easy as it is described), but since I want to support uploads at one time I must deal with the multipart thing.
Standard disclaimer: I tried to google this problem and searched throug the mailinglist, but the only solutions I found used Apache::Request. And I try to avoid using it because (a) it is heavy (is it?), (b) it eats POST data in a way that CGI can no longer handle it properly, (c) if I want to change to Apache2 every usage of APR must be rechecked. So... any thoughts...? Kind regards, Frank
