We are having a problem with Catalina 4.1.12 (I believe we also had issues with
previous versions, but can't say for sure) with respect to how POSTed requests are
handled if the transfer encoding is "chunked". It seems that request parameters in the
content are not processed in this case.
Looking at the source, in HttpRequestBase.java the method parseParameters() does the
following check:
if ("POST".equals(getMethod()) && (getContentLength() > 0)
&& (this.stream == null)
&& "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".equals(contentType)) {
...
Processing of params in the content
...
}
The problem is that with chunked transfer encoding the content length condition isn't
met since parseHeaders() in HttpProcessor.java only sets this if the content-length
header exists which is not the case with chunked transfers. It would seem that the
check in HttpRequestBase.java shoud really be:
String transferEncoding = request.getHeader("Transfer-Encoding");
boolean chunked = ((transferEncoding != null) && (transferEncoding.indexOf("chunked")
!= -1));
if ("POST".equals(getMethod()) && (getContentLength() > 0 || chunked)
&& (this.stream == null)
&& "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".equals(contentType))
If I'm way off base, does anyone have the real solution?
Thanks,
