Re: [PHP] Passing non GET/POST request methods to php script do not work on RH based linux

[Yedidia Klein]

no one answered me so i'm answering myself
php.ini has a directive called allow_webdav_methods that is by default off.

changing this directive do not work on php 4.3.2 as written at 
http://il.php.net/ini.core (didn't really understood what they ment 
there by "This directive does not exist as of PHP 4.3.2"... (new feature 
/ old feature / bug??)


so I also updated to php4.4.0 using cheetahweb rpms from 
http://mirror.cheetaweb.com/redhat/3ES/i386/RPMS.cheeta/


Happy New Year (The Jewish new year starts next week..)

I tried to compare the apache conf files and php.ini files w/o success...


any idea how to set php (or apache) to pass these requests to my 
script ??

the scripts:

req.pl

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $request = new HTTP::Request(
'OPTIONS'=>"http://cc.jct.ac.il/method/"; );

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
