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 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 .

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.

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.
