[Soaplite-devel] '100-Continue' printed incorrectly with mod_perl2

[JT J. <jt-...@si...>]

Hi, everyone.

I posted an updated patch the other day on the 'users' list to make
mod_perl2 work with SOAP::Lite 0.6.7. I would have posted here, but I
had never noticed that this list exists.

I've now found another issue. I have had for a while a working CGI
server. I wanted to make it work in mod_perl. I made the changes, and
when testing it with my SOAP::Lite client, the change seemed to be seamless.

Unfortunately, when I pointed the production client - Intuit's
QBWebConnector, which is in .NET - I got parsing errors (specifically,
'The data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.'). After
quite a lot of digging, I finally captured the decrypted HTTP session to
each server (patched SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache / unpatched
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI) using Ethereal and ssldump. You can see the
session at:

http://pastebin.com/683272

The important part is that the 'HTTP/1.1 100 Continue' line is being
printed before the xml, and .NET stubbornly insists on parsing it as the
start of the xml.

I don't know who's wrong. I don't see why a 'Continue' is needed at that
point. I do know that if I comment out those lines, the client seems to
function.

If this is incorrect, it could be due to a mod_perl2 change that I
didn't accommodate in my patch.

So can someone clarify what should be happening?
