Description

Problem:
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] returns an incorrect value when using IPv6. i.e., when accessing a site at http://[2001:860:fc29:5000::1], $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] would contain "[2001".

Steps to Replicate:
1. Create this script:

<?php var_dump($_SERVER); ?>

2. Run the above script via IPv6.

Expected Result:
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] should contain a valid IPv6 address.

  • Target version set to 1.4.30

the bug is in the *cgi modules when they try to remove the port from the http_host var.
i'm not sure whether SERVER_NAME should wrap ipv6 addresses in [...]

How do apache and nginx do it ?

I don't have a working Apache setup right now, but it seems that they wrap IPv6 addresses in brackets too:

[[https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26005]]

nginx, however, uses my machine's hostname if I don't set a server_name statement in the configuration.

  • you can cat the patches into one file next time :)
  • i think these patches fail when you use dns names, like "Host: lighttpd.net:443" - lighttpd.net has an IPv6 address, so the socket type could be IPv6, but there is no [...]:443. i'd say if the first (non white-space?) char is '[' then search for ']:', otherwise for ':'. (this also means we can test it easier, as this doesn't depend on the socket type, just on the Host: header)
  • it would be very nice if you could add some test-cases for this, probably in the mod_fastcgi part.

(WARNING: This patch doesn't work if lighttpd uses the standard port 80. I'm still writing a correct fix. Thanks.)
