Summary: Error on non-standard HTTP methods
-Status: Assigned

Type: Bug
Package: Built-in web server

PHP Version: 5.4.0

New Comment:
Just to make this clear: HTTP allows arbitrary method verbs to be used. Quoting
the EBNF from RFC 2616, chapter 5.1.1:
Method = "OPTIONS" ; Section 9.2
| "GET" ; Section 9.3
â¦
| extension-method
extension-method = token
Event if the server itself does not support a certain method, it should not
crash, but send a 405 (Method Not Allowed) response. However, for the built in
web server, it makes sense to let the executed script handle this and pipe
arbitrary method verbs to it.

Description:
------------
The built in webserver bails out with an error on retrieval of a non-standard
HTTP request method (e.g. PATCH).
Test script:
---------------
Run the PHP built in web server on PORT 8042 and use the following script to
reproduce the error:
$httpFilePointer = fopen(
'http://localhost:8042',
'r',
false,
stream_context_create(
array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'PATCH',
),
)
)
);
Expected result:
----------------
A valid HTTP response, depending on the script run by the server.
Actual result:
--------------
The server logs to shell:
[Mon Apr 9 15:45:35 2012] ::1:37726 Invalid request (Malformed HTTP request)
The client complains about a malformed response:
Warning: fopen(http://localhost:8042): failed to open stream: HTTP request
failed! in â¦
