I meant that in 4.2.3 it seems broke. Regardless of always_populate_raw_post_data setting, a POST form doesn't always populate $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA like it should*. Related changelog entries: 4.2.0 - Fixed $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA to be populated on a missing content-type when always_populate_raw_post_data is on. (Rasmus) 4.1.0 - Add config option (always_populate_raw_post_data) which when enabled will always populate $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA regardless of the post mime type (Rasmus) So I'm not sure what to say. In 4.2.3 it's very possible to make $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA not exist with this directive on (assuming POST data exists of course). Please advise if this behavior has or will change. Or explain why this is the case. Regards, Philip * Whether it should or not is in question.
