Web Server Design Assignment #5: Unsafe Methods & CGI Due: 05/05/2010 Old Dominion University Department of Computer Science CS 495/595 Spring 2010 Martin Klein

Grading To be done by an automated program that will test most (all?) combinations –assignment is listed under the day it is to be demoed in class –each group will give a 3-4 minute status report the week before an assignment is due! If you have a question: – the class list –mimic the behavior of a well known Apache server (e.g.,

Methods to Support Same as assignments 1-4, plus: –DELETE, PUT, POST as per Lecture 13 n.b. OPTIONS (lecture 13)

Status Codes to Support Same as assignments 1-4, plus: –201 Created PUT, POST –405 Method Not Allowed –411 Length Required –413 Request Entity Too Large –414 Request-URI Too Long

Request Headers Same as assignments 1-4, plus: –Content-type: –Content-Length: –Content-Disposition: (in form data)

Response Headers Same as assignments 1-4

MIME Types, Encodings, etc. All as per assignments 1-4, plus: Your server accepts the following “Content- Type” headers: –multipart/form-data –application/x-form-www-urlencoded

Guidelines PUT, DELETE are allowed recursively, as per directives in the WeMustProtectThisHouse! file Limits –URI: 2k –Entity: 2MB You should flag for Entities longer than advertised as per the “Content-Length” header, but I will not test for error conditions Always issue an HTML description describing the results (success or failure) of PUT and DELETE –we will not produce 202 or 204

WeMustProtectThisHouse! Format % cat WeMustProtectThisHouse\! # ALLOW-PUT ALLOW-DELETE # authorization-type=Basic realm=“Fried Twice” # always quote realm since it might have spaces # # user format = name:md5(password) # mklein: cae72c19f215480ddf2d0d5c3 mk:318bcb4be908d0da6448a0db76908d78 jbollen:c82138c7e01ad922b0a58fdd33c3a91c mln:5a df37fd781035da

CGI Invocation Invoke the URI as an executable program iff: –POST, GET, HEAD methods are used Warning!!! –ensure your URI is relative to your document root dangerous: GET /bin/rm?-rf HTTP/1.1

CGI Program #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; foreach $key (keys (%ENV)) { print "$key = $ENV{$key} \n"; } while ( ) { print "$_ \n"; }

Required Environment Variables SCRIPT_NAME SCRIPT_URI SCRIPT_FILENAME HTTP_REFERER HTTP_USER_AGENT REQUEST_METHOD REMOTE_ADDR QUERY_STRING REMOTE_USER AUTH_TYPE SERVER_NAME SERVER_SOFTWARE SERVER_PORT SERVER_ADDR SERVER_PROTOCOL leave blank if not available

Keep in mind: Status report in 1 week!
