Summary: url(-relative=>1) is broken in CGI.pm
Product: Red Hat Web Application Stack
Version: LAMPv1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: normal
Component: perl
AssignedTo: jvdias(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: jvdias(a)redhat.com
QAContact: gozen(a)redhat.com
CC: fedora-perl-devel-list@redhat.com,jorton(a)redhat.com
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #188441 +++
Description of problem:
url(-relative) no longer returns the original relative path before rewrites.
This used to work in FC4.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.8-4
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a redirect in your .htaccess file such as:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^testabc.cgi$ test.cgi
2. Create a test perl script, test.cgi such as:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard -no_xhtml/;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print url(-relative=>1), "\n";
print url(-absolute=>1), "\n";
3. Look at the web page /testabc.cgi
Actual results:
test.cgi
/testabc.cgi
Expected results:
testabc.cgi
/testabc.cgi

Hmmm, this does not seem to be a problem with perl's CGI:: module -
I put your rewrite rule in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf's /var/www/cgi-bin/
'Directory' entry, from the standard config from a clean install of
httpd-2.2.0-6 , so it now reads:
---
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /cgi-bin
RewriteRule ^testabc.cgi$ test.cgi
</Directory>
---
NOTE: before the server would process the rewrite rule, it insisted that
the FollowSymLinks or FollowSymLinks owner option be specified - without
one of these options enabled, rewrite rules will be ignored.
Then your example test.cgi script works as expected, producing the output:
testabc.cgi
/testabc.cgi
Perhaps your http server is not loading your .htaccess file correctly /
doesn't allow the FollowSymLinks or RewriteRule options ?
I'm CC-ing the httpd maintainer on this - perhaps he could shed some light on
why the rewrite rule might not be taking effect.
If the rewrite rule is correctly applied, the perl CGI module seems to have
no problem with url(-relative=>1) / url(-absolute=>1) .

Sorry - my mistake - I was looking at the wrong output - it does produce :
test.cgi
/testabc.cgi.
This is a CPAN CGI module bug:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18500
I'll try out the patch from the above bug (now in CGI 3.17) and see if it
fixes the problem - if so, it can go into the next perl-5.8.8-6+ release.
-- Additional comment from jvdias(a)redhat.com on 2006-04-12 18:53 EST --
OK, I now see the problem - CGI.pm-3.15 has a new "-rewrite" sub url()
parameter,
which, if 0, is meant to make url() return the "$SCRIPT_NAME", not the
"$REQUEST_URI". It seems the programmer applies this logic only in the
case of '-absolute=>1', NOT '-relative=>1'. Yes, this seems like a
bug
to me - and is still in the latest 3.17 version.
Please try out the attached CGI.pm which fixes the problem - if it works OK,
I'll submit it with the next perl-5.8.8-6 version.

Created an attachment (id=127678)
--> (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=127678&action=...)
CGI.pm (3.15) fixed to use rewritten REQUEST_URI in url() if rewrite!=0
-- Additional comment from jvdias(a)redhat.com on 2006-04-12 18:55 EST --
Sorry, should have mentioned: copy the above CGI.pm attachment to
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI.pm to test.

I tried this out and it looks like it is working. Thanks.
-- Additional comment from jvdias(a)redhat.com on 2006-04-13 16:30 EST --
Thanks for the testing. The fix is now checked into CVS and will go into the
next perl-5.8.8-6 release.
Upstream CPAN CGI.pm bug raised: [

-- Additional comment from updates(a)fedora.redhat.com on 2006-06-05 17:00 EST --
perl-5.8.8-5 has been pushed for fc5, which should resolve this issue. If these
problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this
bug report.
