Hi everybody,
This one baffles me.
I have the following scenario:
- Apache 2.2.3 with mod_php and mod_rewrite enabled (disabling those modules
doesn't change a thing), no other fancy configuration items
- An arbitrary form with enctype="multipart/form-data"
- An arbitrary receiver for the form data, such as a php script or cgi
program
- An arbitrary browser, such as Firefox, or Konquerer which POSTs the form
to the Apache web server
Problem is:
- The web server appears to convert all multipart form data to
application/x-www-form-urlencoded data before passing it on to the
receiver
- Any <input type="file"> data is silently dropped
- A find+grep for the mime types in question yields nothing of note, except
for them being listed in mime.types (even when the find is done on the
entire Apache chroot tree)
- Nothing unusual appears in the log files
- The problem shows up consistently for all receivers (tried mod_php, cgi,
and mod_perl)
- I can't reproduce the error on other servers
- Recompiling apache on that particular server does not help
- tcpdump -w proves that the client does transmit form data correctly, in
multipart/form-data format, including any files
- multipart form data was known to work for that server until about a month
ago. MD5 checksumming suggests that the Apache configuration hasn't
changed for more than 3 months.
What on earth would trigger this behavior?
TIA
Madeleine
