Hi all,

I'm building my own web server on C#.I'm trying to support php with my server.I'm having problems when

executing POST command.I'm testing a webmail written in PHP with my server.I dont know how to pass both

the querystring and body as parameters to php executor in the webserver.

If querystring or body is empty then it works fine for me as i pass the argument like this...

1)c:\php\php.exe "c:\filename.php" querystring ,when body is empty and

2)c:\php\php.exe "c:\filename.php" body, when querystring is empty ...

but i dont how how to pass both vales simultaneously(when both are not empty) as arguments like

c:\php\php.exe "c:\filename.php" querystring body...which doesnt works and also tried

c:\php\php.exe "c:\filename.php" querystring&body ...doesnt works and also tried

c:\php\php.exe "c:\filename.php" querystring\r\n\r\nbody ...which also doesnt works.

please help..

Thanks,
Suresh.

Let me explain the problem more clearly.

I can able to execute normal scripts without any problems.The problem is when executing scripts when adding attachments.

After getting the POST command like this..

POST /upload.php?sid={4010F46F0F2BD-4010F46F0F2D8-1074852975} HTTP/1.1
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint,
application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, */*
Referer: http://localhost/upload.php?sid={4010F4 ... id=0&lid=5
Accept-Language: en-us
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------7d43868360442
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Host: localhost
Content-Length: 400
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache

I'm getting the attachment data (after POST command) like this....

-----------------------------7d43868360442
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="userfile"; filename="C:\dloads\isha.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

-----------------------------7d43868360442
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="submit"

Send
-----------------------------7d43868360442--

The problem now is ...

If i'm correct the query string i get from the command is "sid={4010F46F0F2BD-4010F46F0F2D8-1074852975}" and also i've the
attachment body.How to pass these 2 values to the PHP executor?Do i have to parse and edit this attachment data and create a
new data with special headers?

Please help..

Thanks,
Suresh.

Wow, that's ambitious. I can't help you, but wondered if you thought of looking at the apache source code as to how they do it.

Thanks for your reply hedge.

I did have the apache source code and i'm struggling to find how it happens in apache as i'm very poor in VC++.

So,If you know how to do it please help me as i'm struggling to fix this for a very long time.

Thanks,
Suresh.
