Description:
------------
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA wasn't set on my system for whatever reason (maybe because I set register_globals to off, there is a php bug about that here [0]), thus instead of getting the JSON encoded result of my AJAX request, I got a "undefined variable: $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA".

This can be fixed by altering line 462 of AJAX.php:

- return $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'];
+ return isset($GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA']) ?
+ $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] :
+ implode("\r\n", file('php://input'));

btw... I'm using HTML_AJAX-0.3.3

HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA should always be set if the mime type of the input is unknown.

I'm willing to put this patch in, but i would like to see if there is a header problem that is causing it, or just yet another BC issue with PHP 5.1

Can you include the headers sent from the request, (Firefox Live HTTP Headers works good for that) and the value of $_POST (should be empty but i'd like to check).

Also whats your apache version

At first, sorry that I've initially posted the wrong PHP version, I just did php -v on cmdline while totally forgetting about the fact that I have still 4.3.11 running on my webserver.

The output of $_POST is always array().

Here is the LiveHeaders snippet:

Thanks for the help on debugging the root cause

Any chance you could run your test without the zend debugging enabled.

And get the value of $_SERVER['Content-Type']

We should have your patch in the next release, i just want to verify what is really happening
