[Popcon-developers] Bug#319019: popularity-contest: New HTTP uploader do not follow CGI specification

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.30
Severity: serious

The HTTP POST upload being done by popcon-upload do not seem to follow
the CGI file upload specification.  This make it hard to use common
CGI parsers on the server end, and also make it confusing to analyze
the HTTP trafic.  In addition, this make the Debian and Ubuntu HTTP
upload protocol incompatible with each other.

We should change the protocol and make sure the HTTP POST protocol
look like a normal browser upload before the this new
popularity-contest make it into testing.  I set severity to serious
because of this.
