Title:

PUT/PATCH Request Body is lost with IIS connector

| View in Tracker

Status/Resolution/Reason: Closed/Withdrawn/NotABug

Reporter/Name(from Bugbase): Matthew Clemente / Matthew Clemente ()

Created: 02/22/2018

Components: Installation/Config, Connector

Versions: 11.0

Failure Type: Data Loss

Found In Build/Fixed In Build: 11,0,13,303668 / NA

Priority/Frequency: Normal / All users will encounter

Locale/System: / Win 2012 Server x64

Vote Count: 1

Problem Description: When a PUT/PATCH request with a body is made to ColdFusion, running on IIS 8, the body of the request is lost. The request body is preserved for the same request when run on the built-in web server.

All verbs are allowed in IIS. It doesn't matter if the PUT/PATCH originates from ColdFusion or from an external source, like Postman; the result is the same. IIS doesn't lose the request body when PUT/PATCH requests are made from ASP.

Steps to Reproduce: https://gist.github.com/mjclemente/d8db19dcecf072afc0c6143e26ae2b97

Actual Result: The content of the result is:  [empty string] 

Expected Result: The content of the result is: { "test" : 1 }

Any Workarounds: There are a few hacky ways of getting around it; for example, HTTP Method tunneling or handling data via URL params.

Sorry, for some reason I didn't get notified about this comment.

I'm not sure I understand your response - I don't see any attachments, so I can't see your screenshots. Could you provide them again? 

Is there anything further that I can provide to clarify the issue? I can reproduce it on both our development and production servers.

Hi Mathew,

Apologies for the late Reply.

I am attaching the screenshot again.(IIS_Connector_Issue.png)

The screenshot has 2 parts . Left panel and right.

Left Panel : Is a screenshot for IIS connector on port 82

Right Panel : 8501 built in port.

Both hosting the same index.cfm whose content u had shared : [https://gist.github.com/mjclemente/d8db19dcecf072afc0c6143e26ae2b97]

In both of them i get 

Expected Result: The content of the result is:

{ "test" : 1 }

OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
 IIS Version: 8
 CF Version : 11,0,13,303668

Thanks for providing those attachments.

Retesting this is on my to-do list, but I've been swamped. I'll try to retest by the end of the week to see if anything's changed.

I tested again with the same result.

I noticed that you tested on IIS 8. We're on 8.5. Perhaps there's a difference?

Here's the exact information: IIS 8.5.9600.16384.

Is there anything further that I can provide to clarify the issue? While it's totally possible that it has to do with our configuration, I'm at a complete loss for what the cause might be, if it's not a bug.

Hi Mathew, 

I did try again on  i.a different machine and ii. a fresh It Cloud Machine; no luck though.

A few queries : 

i. Can you give us the log files? To do so follow the steps below
 *    Go to Magic Folder(for e.g: config ->wsconfig -> 1).
 *    Clean the isapi_redirect.log.
 *    Edit isapi_redirect.properties and change log_level = debug 
 *    Rerun the request and share the fresh log files.

ii. Did you tweak some IIS default settings? I haven't.To cross-check do compare yours with some default on some other machine and confirm.

iii. If possible can you try on any other machine and see if the repro is consistent. I doubt this would.

Hi Mathew,

I highly doubt this being a ColdFusion Issue ; since you already mentioned you face this Issue with Postman too.

I guess some settings need to reinstated in your IIS to allow these verbs :

Looks a clear IIS  specific Issue.

Closing this as "NotABug"

Will be reopened in case of any discrepancy.
