Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28864&edit=1 ID: 28864 Comment by: zerkms at zerkms dot ru Reported by: xuefer at 21cn dot com Summary: function to check if POST data is complete Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.3.7 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: According to HTTP specification it's not possible to fool a web server by sending incomplete request. The rules to determine if the request is complete are transparent and it's a web server job to only process the complete and valid HTTP requests.
