[cgiwrap-users] CGI-Wrap w/ Apache. POST method issue

[Daniel W. <da...@pr...>]

Im having a very weird problem with CGIWrap.

I need to beable to use the following method effectivly.

ScriptAlias /Blurb /blah/cgiwrap
Action cgi-wrapper /Blurb/cgiwrap
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi=20

Ive managed to recode small parts of the script to get it to run a =
script correctly but... When POST data is sent to the script, it can't =
read it.

If you unfamiliar with how apache goes about sending post data, ill =
explain a little.

Apache basicaly sends the form data to STDOUT, which will be STDIN on =
the receving script. The script then takes the CONTENT_LENGTH enviroment =
varible and reads how ever much data CONTENT_LENGTH says there is from =
STDIN.

Heres the problem, the CONTENT_LENGTH var is set correctly, but nothing =
is read from STDIN... Any clues why?

Its been done, ive seen it done, i just need some clues as to whats =
wrong.=20

The other methods of using CGIWrap, including all that lovely rewrite =
will not work in this case. It needs to be completly seamless, with no =
differences from normal CGI execution.

Also i managed to grab the patched source for Cobalts version.... same =
problem...


Thanks for your time
