Passing non GET/POST request methods to php script do not work on RH based linux

[Yedidia Klein <yedidia@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've a simple php script  (see below) that write to a file the "REQUEST 
METHOD" that was used while calling this script.

means that when I use a browser to access this script, it write to the 
file "GET".


The problem starts while I try for example to send an OPTIONS request to 
this script (using a simple perl script that I wrote and is attached)

while trying on RH based linuxes the request get to the apache logs but 
not to the php script (means my script do not write anything to its file

but while trying on Debian based linuxes - the script *do* get all 
requests...

I tried to compare the apache conf files and php.ini files w/o success...


any idea how to set php (or apache) to pass these requests to my script ??


tnx,


--Y


the scripts:

req.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use HTTP::Headers;
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $request = new HTTP::Request(
'OPTIONS'=>"http://cc.jct.ac.il/method/"; );

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $response = $ua->request($request) || return "ERROR\t$!";

print $response->server;

method.php
<?php
$filename = '/var/www/html/method/method.log';
$somecontent = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]."\n";

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
#if (is_writable($filename)) {

  // In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
  // The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
  // that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
  if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
        echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
        exit;
  }

  // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
  if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
      echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
      exit;
  }

  echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";

  fclose($handle);
?>
