Summary: raw POST data missing with chunked encoding, FastCGI
Status: Assigned
Type: Bug
Package: CGI/CLI related
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 5.3.9

New Comment:
The problem lies in php-cgi.exe.
I have been able to reproduce the problem on IIS 7.5.
In Fast-cgi the data is delivered using method similar to chunking.
In case of "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" IIS supplies Content-length:-1 in the
request data, which is casted to uint in sapi_cgi_read_post. Causing the
routine to read data until it has read the full 4G (2^32-1).
Also, both the methods sapi_cgi_read_post(cgi_main.c) and fcgi_read(fastcgi.c)
try to read the complete buffer time after time, causing the end-marker
(0-sized chunk) only to be seen when it would be at buffer-boundary. However
the sapi_cgi_read_post funtion is called several times after the actual content
has been read causing the fcgi_read method to block.
I expect similar cause to apply for apache.
Solution appears
1) do not loop in fcgi_read; this way when reading the final marker, it is
returned to the calling code.
2) Set SG(request_info).content_length to SG(read_post_bytes) + read_bytes when
tmp_read_bytes ==0 && SG(request_info).content_length == -1

Unfortunately, I won't be able to test with nginx because the system
administrators won't let me install it (Only Apache is allowed). Sorry for the
inconvenience. I'll try to open a new bug on Apache bug list or mod_fcigd bug
list if I find it : maybe they'll look into it.

I finally got my hands on Windows Server 2008 running IIS 7.0.
Same problem; when POST request is chunked, the response times out.
Perhaps I'm missing a setting that would enable the receipt of
chunked incoming requests, but I have only read about settings
that chunk the outgoing response.

Looks like that. Could you try nginx+chunkin to confirm please?

So, it is not a PHP problem ?

Making the chunked request to a stock nginx 1.0.13 installation
on Ubuntu yields a "411 Length Required" message, but enabling
the ngx_chunkin module does indeed correctly serve the request
and populate php://input and $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.
This was done with both Ubuntu's distribution of
PHP 5.3.6 and the php5.4-201203221530 snapshot.
