URL-encoded post variables? yes.

Looks to me like there already is a multipart decoder in the Request object.

Lack of features is not likely to make me put a brown paper bag over my head before meeting users, so no chance of hold-up there.

Can you make a small testcase? In that case please check it in at least in 7.7. There is something broken with the SSL part somewhere, but noone has built up the motivation to figure out exactly what yet.

If someone figures out and fixes that I will force out a new release within a week.

Pike 7.6.66 is now available as a new stable release.

I strongly encourage everyone to upgrade to avoid the "reference underflow in modify_shared_string()" bug. It's a very hard bug to debug when you get it, and it dissapears if you change your code a bit causing Heisen-bugs.

(I have not made a news item or updated the HTML version of the changelog on pike.ida.liu.se. Feel free to du this before I get around to it.)

Changes since Pike 7.6.50 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in Pike:

o Added support for chunked transfer encoding and handle unexpected multiple headers in HTTP.Server.Request. o Added support for "urlencoded" as an alias for "url-encoded" in HTTP.Server.Request. o Added callback support to Stdio.FakeFile. o Added iso_646.irv, iso_4873.dv and iso_4873 to charsets. o Added UCS-2 API support to Odbc. o Fixed some bugs in Protocol.HTTP.Server.HeaderParser. o Fixed decoding boolean datatype in Protocols.XMLRPC. o Fixed short names in Standards.XML.Wix. o Fixed time(0) to behave like time(), not time(1). This is considered a bugfix and does not have backward compatibility. o Allow _disable_callbacks and _enable_callbacks on closed fd's.

Other:

o Added compatibility for more odbc drivers. o Optimized XML.Tree simplenode creation. o Fixed reference underflow in modify_shared_string() o Fixed segfault when exiting uninitialized mutex keys. o Fixed segfault for two special cases of indexing unexisting stuff. o Fixed gc problem that could produce an error "gc_mark() called for thing in zap weak pass that wasn't marked before" in pikes compiled with rtldebug. o Fixed multiset node ref bugs that affected iterators when the multisets contain destructed objects. o Fixed out of C-stack errors when resizing unbalanced mappings.

Build fixes:

o Fixed win32 compilation. o Fixed detection of SDL.Joystick on win32 o Automaticly add Pike icon to win32 binary. o Fixed signal_handler compilation on OperBSD. o Fixed gcc 4.0 compatibility. o Added mmap PROT_EXEC support to MacOS X via MAP_ANON.

Binaries for Linux/x86 and Windows/x86 uploaded.

o Added support for chunked transfer encoding and handle unexpected multiple headers in HTTP.Server.Request.

From .64 to .66 the function populate_raw() has been removed from

HTTP.Server.Request(). Why isn't that needed anymore? It seems strange that a previously needed function just get removed like that...

( I'm just wondering as I'm trying to search for some cause why my Roxen hangs every other day ("hangs" as in no CPU-usage and can only be killed with -9). And with Pike 7.6.64 it's working on another system, but it might of course be the system's and not Pike's fault. )

As nothing replaced it, it looked like it might have been removed by mistake.

But as it's not related to my problem, I guess I don't care.

Actually, something did replace it. The raw population is done in the normal parser.

Roxen does not use HTTP.Server.
