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 :-(
what has changed since it was working?
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?),
you must be kidding, Frank. libapreq heavy? it's much lighter and faster than CGI.pm, check the benchmarks:
http://modperlbook.org/html/ch13_02.html
(b) it eats POST data in a way that CGI can no longer handle it properly,
right, which is why you should move to Apache2, where it doesn't happen.
(c) if I want to change to Apache2 every usage of APR must be rechecked.
what do you mean?
