[FastCGI] HTTP POST not possible

Reported by Martin Grund | March 23rd, 2008 @ 08:27 PM

When using the FastCGI setup HTTP Post requests are not possible since the following exception occurs

undefined method `rewind' for # - (NoMethodError)

The reason is, that the required FCGI object does not provide a method called "rewind" to reset the communication channel.

Changing the source to

@body.rewind if @body.respond_to?(:rewind)

res = @body.read

@body.rewind if @body.respond_to?(:rewind)

in merb-core/dispatch/request.rb:raw_post fixes the problem, but still stays a little unclean.

    I've fixed this for now. I'm not sure why i was rewinding twice but it's not needed. I've memoized it and only rewind if the body responsds to rewind
