No it doesn't. It first returns a 100. What exactly is the test file supposed to prove?

** [bugs:#1210] HTTP PUT not receiving peer cgi's error response**
**Status:** pending-invalid
**Created:** Mon Apr 01, 2013 09:13 PM UTC by Fraxinas

Here's a step-to-step tutorial to simulate the problem: 
- save attachments to /tmp & cd /tmp 
$ gcc -g -o /srv/http/cgi-bin/ret_400.cgi ret_400.c 
(or output wherever your httpd's cgi-bin directory is) 
$ gcc -g `pkg-config libcurl --cflags --libs` curlputtest.c -o curlputtest 
$ ./curlputtest 
- now you get a prompt where you have to enter an http get request. 
if you enter the absolute path of an existing file, it will upload that, e.g.: 
GET /tmp/curlputtest.c HTTP/1.0 
- the second line is the upload-destination, so the path where on your 
webserver the ret_400 cgi-bin resides, for example: 
X-DESTINATION: http://localhost/cgi-bin/ret_400.cgi 
- the testprog will then output a debug line with the aquired paths: 
curl put mode on!! source path '/dream/devel/dnstreamproxy/curlputtest.c' 
destination url 'http://localhost/cgi-bin/ret_400.cgi' 
- after another newline, curl will try to connect to the given url and try to 
upload the file which fails with error 400 because the cgi-bin expects a 
parameter with a length of exactly 10 characters. this is expected! 
- if you enter a X-DESTINATION url with a 10-digit parameter, it succeeds with 
status code 201: 
X-DESTINATION: http://localhost/cgi-bin/ret_400.cgi?1234567890 
- now if instead of an accessible file, you put some bogus stuff after in the 
get request, it'll generate dummy packets and simulate a continuous stream 
without determined file size: 
GET /thisisnotafilename HTTP/1.0 
- as X-DESTINATION your specify the cgi-bins uri but with wrong parameter, 
then the expected behaviour is that it should not even once call the READFUNC 
and error out with the 404 status right away like it does with the determined 
file size. 
instead the READFUNC is called over and over again and the upload never ends 
(even though the cgi-bin on the server has set the 404 status and terminated 
already) i've wiresharked this and it shows, that the apache doesn't actually 
send out the http error code, until the curlputtest is aborted. i'm guessing 
that the testcase for some reason doesn't even give the webserver a chance to 
send its answer in this upload mode without determined content-size. 
when uploading an actual file, it does work just fine, so this is already kind 
of a minimal example and can't really be more simplified i guess :( 
cheers,
