Form Boundary, I believe

Post by shiznatix »

I am having a very strange problem with this new Debian server I have setup. We have a few websites running on it with virtual hosts configured for the different domains. Everything runs smoothly except for this 1 form that is multi-part (has a file upload) and is a bit long (but really, not that big of a form). Basically, the problem is that _sometimes_ the vhosts isn't catching the domain and the POST gets sent to the default host in the apache configuration (garbage).

When this happens, I check the logs right away and I can only find this in the access.log file:
xx.xxx.xxx.xx - - [01/Oct/2012:14:45:33 +0200] "FormBoundary9W6AXEHGkQIAjcaT" 200 11 "-" "-"
What could be the cause of this and is there anywhere else I can really look for information about this?

Almost sounds like DNS isn't configured properly.

I dont think that is true since the same exact actions work properly 90% of the time and the issue only comes up in that exact situation.

*bump*

I have had some other strange problems with this form, with some data just not being sent through POST. If you just do a refresh (do the "yes resubmit form post stuff"), it goes through just fine. Is there any reason that some POST data would be corrupted like this at random?
