Lighttpd has no post?

It was weird but I was unable to find a way to read POST and GET like the other web servers. The GET reading I implemeted is improvised from lighty.env["uri.query"]

No good, changed mod_magnet to expose the request body but Lighttpd 1.4 (the last released) is bugged, 1.5 fixed it but now is dead 💀 and 2.0 is not out yet 😞

Thanks for the effort! Better to wait for 2.0 then and maybe notify whoever is developing the next version so it can get fixed :)

In general, bugs that do not get reported upstream are unlikely to get fixed.

I am a lighttpd developer of the lighttpd 1.4.x branch. lighttpd 1.4.x does not expose the POST request body in lighttpd mod_magnet because lighttpd has not read the request body when lighttpd runs the request processing hooks for mod_magnet. If there were interest, I might look into adding hooks to lighttpd for lua to be able to filter the request/response.
