Conversation
- Move msc_process_request_body() into the handler phase (hook_request_late) instead of calling it per input-filter bucket - Register hook_request_late via ap_hook_handler (not fixups) and read the body with ap_setup_client_block()/ap_get_client_block() so the input filter runs; create the transaction context in hook_insert_filter if missing - Set r->status in addition to r->status_line so interventions return the configured HTTP status - Fix input_filter() calling ap_remove_output_filter() instead of ap_remove_input_filter() - Check apr_bucket_read() return value in output_filter() Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughTransaction contexts now track request-body processing. Missing contexts are created during late request handling and input-filter setup. Apache reads and buffers request bodies before ModSecurity processes them. Response read failures and error status assignment are handled explicitly. ChangesRequest body processing
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The request-processing change can consume and discard request bodies before the configured content handler runs, causing downstream handlers to see an empty body; read failures are also not converted into an error response. This is a high-impact correctness issue, so the PR is not ready to merge until the body-preservation and error-handling behavior is fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

ap_get_client_block in hook_request_late to preserve all consumed body data for
the configured content handler, using a replayable input-filter or equivalent

Preserve the request body for the configured content handler.
ap_get_client_block consumes each body chunk into buffer. The loop discards the chunks, then hook_request_late returns DECLINED, so the later content handler may receive EOF instead of the request body. The loop also ignores the documented -1 read-error result. Use a replayable input filter or another body-preservation mechanism, and return an HTTP error when ap_get_client_block returns -1.
