Bug#327235: Client hangs when connecting to Apache server
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.26-0woody6
Weird one this.
I realise Woody is no longer stable, we plan an upgrade, however this bug is
biting us.
A form submission to a Apache will hang it on the sixth submission.
To reproduce, take some html such as:
<body>
<form action="./formtest.php" method="POST" name="form">
<input type="hidden" name="anything" value="alsoanything">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
save in a .php script, and load the page.
Click the submit button six times. On the sixth time, your connection will
hang.
Same for perl. Save as a .pl script, wrap it in some print statements, add a
header, and voila - breakage on the sixth click.
I can reproduce this on three servers.
