Re: Apache::ASP problem with post data
I think this will be intresting in the future when HTTP servers will be
used for other things than just web pages serving.
First thing i can think of is XML-RPC and SOAP technologie . Maybe this
is something for a future release of the ASP framework ?

I'll change the Apache::ASP code to read() instead
of content() just for this reason. I might only
parse it for Form() if "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
but at least it'll be there for BinaryRead()
Thanks for figuring this out.

Re: Apache::ASP problem with post data
the result of $Response-> is also empty.
i had a look into the Apache::ASP source code and found this :
(line 843)
$self->{content} = $r->content();
tie(*STDIN, 'Apache::ASP::Request', $self)
if defined($self->{content});
this means that it's comming from $r->content() which i think is a
apache object.
(what the tie does , i don't know )
so looking further in the apache module i found that
sub content {
my($r) = @_;
my $ct = $r->header_in("Content-type") || "";
return unless $ct eq "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
my $buff;
$r->read($buff, $r->header_in("Content-length"));
parse_args(wantarray, $buff);
}
it seems that the "Content-type" must be
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" before we can get anything out of
the content() routine from mod_perl :-(
So i tried this
#Get posted XML query
$len = $Request->{TotalBytes};
$Request->{asp}->{r}->read($i,$len);
this will work always without taking into acount the content-type ,
which is text/xml
I don't know if there is any problem with doing it this way ?
If anybody has a clue on this , let me know .
greetings,
luc

I don't know why this is happening. Everything looks like it
should work fine. Can you write a mini Apache::Registry script
with the same call to it, and do:
print Apache->content();
In Apache::ASP, content is initialized like:
$self->{content} = $r->content();
very straightforward, so if the above shows content, but
Apache::ASP isn't getting any, I'll be a little stumped.
Also, what is the output from:
<%= $Request->BinaryRead() %>
which should return all of the output. Your other code should
have worked, but just in case. BinaryRead w/o a length just
returns all of it.
This shouldn't be the problem, but is there the chance that
there is something else calling $r->content() first? Maybe
some other code in another PerlHandler stage? This should
not be the problem because one would expect your script to hang
in this case, but again I'm a bit stumped.

Apache::ASP problem with post data
hello ,
i'm working on a project that involves some XML-RPC system. The idea is
to POST a XML to a ASP script which will than process this
and return a XML back to the client.
To do that a send sommething like this (output from ethereal dump) :
POST /cp-bin/rc2.asp HTTP/1.0
Host: linux
User-Agent: libwww-perl/5.36
Content-Length: 156
Content-Type: text/xml
examples.getStateName
1
The problem now is , that in the asp script i get a Totalbytes of 156
bytes but the content string is empty ?
#Get posted XML query
my $len = $Request->{TotalBytes};
my $i = $Request->BinaryRead($len);
#log input query
$Response->Debug("recieved $len bytes");
$Response->Debug("data [$i]");
Does anybody has a clue where the 156 bytes are ???
thanks
