RAWINPUTONLY (JANUS DEFINE parameter)

RAWINPUTONLY is a parameter on JANUS DEFINE, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port.

RAWINPUTONLY indicates that, regardless of the POST data content-type set by the client, Janus Web Server should do both of the following:

• Save the raw input stream of an HTTP POST.
• Refrain from parsing the input content into form fields.

RAWINPUTONLY is very similar to the RAWINPUT port definition parameter, except that:

• RAWINPUTONLY can be an ON rule parameter, so it can be set for specific URLs.
• RAWINPUT does not prevent Janus Web Server from trying to parse the form parameters, if the content-type for the POST is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data. RAWINPUTONLY prevents this parsing, so it protects Janus Web Server applications from errors in this parsing. These errors include invalid-form-data errors and request-buffer-full errors.

This parameter is only available in Version 6.8 and later of Sirius Mods.

Valid only for WEBSERV ports.
