Summary: Request body is 0-size when chunked requests are
used
Status: Open
Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: Apache2 related
Operating System: *
PHP Version: 5.3.1

Here is a test case for the bug, using netcat to send the request:
http://koti.kapsi.fi/~jpa/stuff/other/php-chunked-test.tgz
A simple bash cgi script correctly receives the request, so the problem
is with PHP's CGI and FCGI interfaces. Instead of requiring a
CONTENT_LENGTH header, PHP should simply read to EOF on stdin when
TRANSFER_ENCODING is chunked.

Description:
------------
Disclaimer: I'm not 100% sure if this is a PHP-FCGI bug.
When (PUT-) HTTP requests are made and encoded as Transfer-Encoding:
Chunked, PHP never receives the request body, e.g.:
echo strlen(fopen('php://input','r')); will yield 0.
Chunked Transfer Encoding is used by the OS/X Finder WebDAV client. It
works correctly when mod_php is used, but fails with FastCGI.
Nginx and Lighttpd don't support this at all, and return 411 Length
Required, which still sucks, but is better than silently failing.
Test script:
---------------
echo strlen(fopen('php://input','r'));
Expected result:
----------------
size of the request body
Actual result:
--------------
0
