Package: khtml
Version: 3.0 (KDE 1.91 Beta >= 20000624)
Severity: normal

Some CGI parsing programs cannot see the POST data that konqueror supplies,
the reason being that the Content-Type header is supplying a boundary as if
for multipart MIME, but the boundary never appears in the body.  Some CGI
parsers, like CGI.pm (the most common PERL one) don't care, but CGI::Request
appears to.  I have put up a couple of example CGIs as

http://www.zynet.net/cgi-bin/testpost
http://www.zynet.net/cgi-bin/testpostauth (username test, password test)

Both use CGI::Request and dump the CGI query back as a web page so you can
construct a local HTML file with some POST forms and see what happens.

Netscape works with both of these as it doesn't supply a boundary on the
Content-Type header.

I've looked around in kdelibs/khtml/khtml_part.cpp around line 1799, but didn't
want to mess around too much :-/
