>Description:
There are troubles with CGI scripts and POST requests.
>How-To-Repeat:
My CGI script:
-----
#!/usr/bin/awk -f

BEGIN {

    print "Content-type: text/plain\n"

    if (ENVIRON["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
        if (ENVIRON["CONTENT_TYPE"] == "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") {
            cmd = "dd bs=1 count=" ENVIRON["CONTENT_LENGTH"] 
            cmd | getline input
            close (cmd)
        }
    }

    print "Post data was : " input
}

When sending a request for this script, the contection stalled.
