Package: libocamlnet-ocaml-dev
Version: 2.2.9-8
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
ocamlnet seems to not put the content-length and content-type headers
in last position when sending a HTTP POST request.
Although I do not think this is against the specs, it certainly confuses
some webserver.
For instance, this code:
let call = new Http_client.post_call in
let pipeline = new Http_client.pipeline in
let http_headers = call#request_header `Base in
let body = call#request_body in
call#set_request_uri uri ;
body#set_value request ;
call#set_request_body body ;
http_headers#update_field
"Content-length"
(string_of_int (String.length request));
http_headers#update_field "Content-type" "text/xml";
call#set_request_header http_headers;
pipeline#add call ;
try
pipeline#run () ;
Produces a request of the form:
POST /(...) HTTP/1.1
Content-length: 592
Content-type: text/xml
Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 22:08:53 GMT
User-agent: Netclient
Host: www.host.com
Which is refused by the server:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 22:08:53 GMT
Server: Apache
Additionaly, one cannot set a custom order for the headers so this cannot
be worked around...
