Hi,

curl version 7.17.1 does not do POST-Request properly on Solaris 2.6

$ src/curl -v -d 'x=1&y=2' http://localhost/cgi-bin/test-cgi
* About to connect() to localhost port 80 (#0)
* Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)

CGI/1.0 test script report:

argc is 0. argv is .

SERVER_SOFTWARE = Apache
SERVER_NAME = lsmonitor1.de.db.com
GATEWAY_INTERFACE = CGI/1.1
SERVER_PROTOCOL = HTTP/1.1
SERVER_PORT = 80
HTTP_ACCEPT = */*
PATH_INFO =
PATH_TRANSLATED =
SCRIPT_NAME = /cgi-bin/test-cgi
REQUEST_METHOD = POST
QUERY_STRING =

REMOTE_HOST =
REMOTE_ADDR = 127.0.0.1
REMOTE_USER =
AUTH_TYPE =
CONTENT_TYPE = application/x-www-form-urlencoded
CONTENT_LENGTH = 0

I think the error is that the Content-Length-header ist set to 0 when
sending the request, so the webserver does not pass the posted data to
the cgi-script. 7.16.4 works fine. Unfortunately i hadn't the time do
debug this, so i went back to version 7.16.4, but at least i wanted to
report the problem.

Bye,
Georg
