[cobalt-developers] POST problems on RAQ2

["Clint Gilchrist" <clint@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone have an idea how to get the POST method to work on an RAQ2?

I have a form setup to use method=post and then a simple perl program the
reads the data from stdin, displays it to the client in text mode and also
reads and displays all ENV variables.  I never get any data from STDIN,
CONTENT_LENGTH does not appear to exist, and the REQUEST_METHOD always
returns as GET no matter what method I put in the FORM tag.  If I use
method=get, everything works and I am able to get data via QUERY_STRING.

Cobalt tech support told me POST is not allowed by CGIWrap.  They recommend
against it, but said I could disable CGIWrap.  As per instructions in the KB
article 696, I commented out all 'AddHandler cgi-wrapper' and added
corresponding 'AddHandler cgi-script' in both my srm.conf and httpd.conf
files.  I have even gone so far as to comment out the 'Action' and
'ScriptAlias' directives for CGIwrap.  Still the same results.  POST method
does not work.

There are also no <Limit GET POST ...... > directives in my config files.

Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?  Perl programs execute, so
there are no access problems, but somehow the server must be limiting all
CGI to GET only.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
