multipart/form-data bug [crossposted]

Sorry for the cross-post, but I don't know which side is causing this bug, Apache or PHP. OS: Solaris 8 Apache: 1.3.26 PHP: 4.2.2 (DSO) By default, PHP sets "max_post_size" to 8Mb. If the post data exceeds that, it seems PHP discards all of it (no post data gets to the script). In my situation "upload_max_filesize" was set higher than 8Mb (tho this may not have any effect on the bug). When a big (11Mb) file was posted with multipart/form-data, PHP ignored all the data, but it seems part of the POST data was *reparsed* by Apache! In the apache access logs it shows the post, then the next request looks like this (wrapped): > 24.58.34.117 - - [16/Aug/2002:11:49:58 -0400] > "-----------------------------1103527590377401575662824084" > 200 6568 "-" "-" This seems to be caused since PHP stopped after reading the HTTP header (ending in "Content-Length: 11993812\n\n"). The next lines in the post were: > ----------------------------1103527590377401575662824084 > Content-Disposition: form-data; name="bar" > > foo@example.com > ----------------------------1103527590377401575662824084 > .... and so on until the tcp session was reset. Does anyone see something odd here? :-) Enjoy. This does not happen on FreeBSD/Apache-1.3.26/PHP-cvs. But hey, I learned that a shortcut for "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n" is "-\n", and there are no headers to parse. :-) -James
