PHP 4.0 Bug #9227 Updated: php module crashes without content-type header.

ID: 9227 Updated by: sniper Reported By: wmartino@webmachines.com Old-Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Assigned To: Comments: Check this url for information how to generate a GDB backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php (It has info what to do when you don't get any core dumps) Also, remember that you have to configure PHP with --enable-debug to get useful backtraces. --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-12 10:49:37] wmartino@webmachines.com I am running php 4.04pl1 compiled as an apache 1.3 module with support for curl, pgsql, and zlib. It seems that the module crashes, causing httpd processes to seg fault when a POST request is made without a content-type header. It seems that the crash only occurs after a normal POST with a content-type header is followed by one without. To reproduce the crash, I simply make a POST request to a php script that does pretty much nothing( usually just printing a statement indicating that it ran ) with a browser(Netscape 4.6.2 or lynx-2.82.) and then run a program that I wrote that sends a POST request w/o the Content-Type header. Sometimes this step must be done several times until the same apache child process that I hit with the browser receives the bad request. Eventually, after running this program for a while one apache child process dies for each hit I made from the browser. This only occurs with php scripts and apache does not give me a core dump that i can analyze to give you more info. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-12 10:36:53] wmartino@webmachines.com I am running php 4.04pl1 compiled as an apache 1.3 module with support for curl, pgsql, and zlib.
