The bug has apparently been fixed in CVS. Haven't had a chance to test it, but will do as soon as possible.

Please let me know how it works out. One interesting feature of the old code is that HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA could be present even when the INI option controlling its creation was off, this was a bug and will not be re-instated.

Now the question is: When can we expect an update? I see people talking about what should go into PHP 5.2.3. How about "this bugfix, possibly a few others, and then release it ASAP"? As in by the end of this week (or thereabouts)?

I suspect in a week or two. Definitely sooner then later.

This bug affects a lot of sites that use XML-RPC communication of some form or another. Quite a lot of those nifty Web 2.0 sites, I would assume. And since people will be updating quickly due to the security issues fixed with 5.2.2, they may be in for a surprise.

I sure hope those nifty Web 2.0 sites don't use SOAP and XML-RPC but rather JSON or REST. Ilia Alshanetsky
