Jim Gallacher commented on MODPYTHON-99:
----------------------------------------

Should we be unit testing the getters and setters for all request and server
 object members?

> Martin Devara discovered a segfault when accessing some request object mem
bers. For example:
> def handler(req):
>         req.content_type = "text/plain"
>         req.write("EE\n")
>         a = getattr(req,"allowed_methods");
>     return apache.OK
> Futher investigation revealed problems with several getter functions in re
questobject.c and serverobject.c. The root of the problem seems to be pointe
r dereferencing errors in the getter code. The affected functions and the me
mbers which use them are:
> src/requestobject.c
>     getreq_rec_ml
>         allowed_methods
>     getreq_rec_ah
>         content_languages
>         allowed_xmethods
> src/serverobject.c
>     getsrv_recmbr_ah
>         names
>         wild_names
> Martin has provided a patch to fix the bug.
> (Thanks to Martin for tracking this down and providing the fix.)
