[Resolved] Chunked HTTP/1.1 POST request support - LiteSpeed Support Forums

Sample chunked POST request:

Code:

POST /test.php HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

6
Hello_
5
World
0

// after last '0' there are two times CRLF, so the last 5 bytes are: 0x30, 0x0D, 0x0A, 0x0D, 0x0A

Above request is attached as text file to this post.



And here is the test.php:

PHP Code:



<?php

    $in = fopen('php://input', 'r');

    $text = fread($in, 100);

    $size = strlen($text);

    echo "Text: $text<br/>";

    echo "Size: $size<br/>";    

?>




On Apache 2.2.11 it gives following response:

Code:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:04:27 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) PHP/5.3.0
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.0
Content-Length: 38
Content-Type: text/html

Text: Hello_World<br/>Size: 11<br/>

I also tested this POST request on Tomcat and Jetty - works perfectly - we recive request with its content.

(When testing it on Apache or other servers - remember not to use any proxies like Squid, cause they usually also don't support chunked POSTs).



Unfortunetly, on LSWS the PHP $text variable leaves empty:

Code:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:02:54 GMT
Server: LiteSpeed
Connection: close
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.8
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 26

Text: <br/>Size: 0<br/>

No data is read from "php://input". The strange thing is LSWS doesn't abort request at the begining by returing some 4xx or 5xx error - not at all. LSWS accepts the request, passes it to PHP file but drops posted content. The retured code is HTTP 200.

All seems to be perfect but we cannot access chunked request body from PHP file.



Such requests as above are produced by major part of today mobile devices when POST-ing large data (above 5 KB). So now, using LSWS server we cannot upload files to server from large number of mobile phones.
