#24212 [NEW]: HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA contains a "doubled" contents

From: bugs at 50km dot com Operating system: linux redhat 8 PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA contains a "doubled" contents Description: ------------ $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] or HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA contains a "doubled" contents. For example: Client posts: <?xml version="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>sayhello</methodName><params><param><value><string>Duff</string></value></param></params></methodCall> Apears in $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] as: <?xml version="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>sayhello</methodName><params><param><value><string>Duff</string></value></param></params></methodCall><?xml version="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>sayhello</methodName><params><param><value><string>Duff</string></value></param></params></methodCall> Looks like it is concatenated to the variable twice. I haven't played with this using binary data but it may explain what is messing up file uploads for some people. I know the recommended way is now to use php://input but a lot of older code relies on this and it seems to clearly be a bug. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24212&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24212&r=gnused
