#37860 [Bgs->Opn]: gzip encoded form input is not handled correctly

ID: 37860 User updated by: tjerk dot meesters at muvee dot com Reported By: tjerk dot meesters at muvee dot com -Status: Bogus +Status: Open -Bug Type: Zlib Related +Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: Fair enough, in that case I'll change it to the following request: Add support for compressed posted data. Background: some asp scripts make the assumption that this is a normal thing to support; I'm not sure whether any browser actually supports this feature, but it seems to be a valid request.

You can create a feature request though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-20 11:59:49] tjerk dot meesters at muvee dot com Description: ------------ When gzip encoded input is used to post form data, the variables are lost. The example code expects a form.php which simply does a print_r() on $_POST. It's assumed that the zlib functionality is available. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo file_get_contents( 'http://www.example.com/form.php',false, stream_context_create(array( 'http'=>array( 'method'=>'POST', 'header'=>"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\nContent-Encoding: gzip", 'content'=>gzencode('data=somebigvalue'), ) )) ); ?> Expected result: ---------------- A print_r() output of an array where the key 'data' is set to 'somebigvalue' Actual result: -------------- A print_r() of an empty array. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37860&edit=1
