Before I submit this to the Apache bug database, I would like to hear your comment about it. [Symptom] I used LimitRequestBody directive and then sent POST request which size is over the value of LimitRequestBody. I expected the response of Status 413 with the body which is set for the status. However I got the Status 413 with the body including not only 413, but also 500. [Analysis] It happens when you use mod_cgid / mod_cgi and LimitRequestBody. It might caused by the following mod_cgi's code : --- L.836-843 in mod_cgi.c --- rv = ap_get_brigade(r->input_filters, bb, AP_MODE_READBYTES, APR_BLOCK_READ, HUGE_STRING_LEN); if (rv != APR_SUCCESS) { ap_log_rerror(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_ERR, rv, r, "Error reading request entity data"); return HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR; } ------------------------------------------------- Exceeding LimitRequestBody AP_FILTER_ERROR occurs in ap_get_brigade(). Apache put Status 413's body into the response at that time. However following code returns HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR. It means that Apache adds Status 500's body to the response. I think the code might be like following : ------------------------------------------------- rv = ap_get_brigade(r->input_filters, bb, AP_MODE_READBYTES, APR_BLOCK_READ, HUGE_STRING_LEN); if (rv != APR_SUCCESS) { if (rv == AP_FILTER_ERROR) return rv; else return HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR; } ------------------------------------------------- I mention only mod_cgi, but mod_cgid includes the same issue.
