TYPO3.Flow

This is a bit hard to describe and I'm not 100% sure whether this is a bug in the Http\Request or in the calling code:

When using The \TYPO3\Flow\Http\Client\Browser like this:

1$request = \TYPO3\Flow\Http\Request::create(new \TYPO3\Flow\Http\Uri($uri), $method, $arguments);
2$response = $this->browser->sendRequest($request);

The default request engine (= CurlEngine) ignores $arguments and instead sends the content of the current request!

The reason for this is following code in CurlEngine:

1$content = $request->getContent();
2// ...
3$body = $content !== '' ? $content : http_build_query($request->getArguments());
4curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $body);

So the engine prefers the request body over its arguments (which I think is correct) – the issue seems to be that Http\Request::getContent() returns the current input stream:

1if ($this->content === NULL) {
2    $this->content = file_get_contents($this->inputStreamUri);
3}

A nasty work around is to call $request->setContent('') after creating the request object in the client code..
