XrdTPC truncates query parameters/opaque information

[apeters1971]

XrdTPC currently ignores the "xrd-http-query" header and only sets the authz header.

The query parameters should be bridged to the SFS backend.

@apeters1971 - can you give a sample request and what you expect to be passed to the backend?

Particularly, headers can be transformed to CGI requests to the SFS backend by specifying header2cgi as in:

http.header2cgi Authorization authz

Are you asking for something else?

[apeters1971]

We use URLs with CGI queries:

/cms/higgs.root?foo=bar

SFS should see path=/cms/higgs.root + info=foo=bar

The header generated by XrdHttp is called : xrd-http-query
but probably the header2cgi does not work in this case, right?

[bbockelm]

Gotcha - I can look into the CGI question.

I'm still not following the question about a xrd-http-query header. I don't see this string grepping through the source code.

[bbockelm]

Ok, I see what you mean. I think I just had an older version of master without your patches for the xrd-http-query header.

Anyhow, PR #934 should fix it. Can you verify things?
