Re: Apache2::Request->param fails with POST

[Ryan Gies]

This may be obvious, however note that calling $req->param will invoke 
the input filters, should have have any configured.

Hi I am using Apache2.2 and mod_perl. I have a login page that POSTs to an
authentication script.
<form method=POST
action="/authenticate?sid=06eff4cdc3231db0236cdbe2c51e6618">
<table>
<tr>
        <td align=right>User(or email):</td>

        <td align=right>Password:</td>
        <td><input type=password name=password></td></tr></table>
<input type=submit value=Login><BR>
</form>
on the server side.. I have the following code...

use Apache2::Request;
use Apache2::SubRequest;
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::Upload;
use Apache2::URI;

        my $r = shift;
        my $req = Apache2::Request->new($r);

        #Get the Query String and POST data
        log("PROCESS", "MESSAGE", "Inside");
        my @keys = $req->param;
        log("PROCESS", "PARAMS", Dumper($req->param));

when I post the form, the logs show till "Inside" and the browser keeps
loading the page, the CPU consumption on the server is 100% by httpd.

however, if I change the form so it uses GET instead of POST, everything
works fine.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks
