Package: boa
Version: 0.94.14rc21-amd64
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Hi,
I recently installed the winhelpcgi.cgi program on my server machine, which
breaks under boa because it expects to see a QUERY_STRING variable in its
environment, even if it is an empty string for the case that no query string
is supplied. This is unusual, but completely valid--it's explicitly
required by the CGI spec * that the server MUST set QUERY_STRING, even if
empty, and CGI programs can reliably use this to detect whether they are
running under a web server.
At the moment, I have a little shell script that sets the QUERY_STRING
variable to "" if none is present in the environment and then execs the real
CGI binary, but a real fix in boa would be appreciated. I could, of course,
also patch a workaround into winhelpcgi.cgi directly.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
* At the moment, that seems to be the (informational) RFC 3875.
