      1. Search for usages of the variables:

        $_GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]
        $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
        

        Make sure the only usage is on Zend library and TinyMCE.

      2. Execute tests on the following areas:
        • Shibboleth - Login and logout.
        • MNet - Setup and test it using SSL.

      Make sure it still works as expected

      Note: I think that the appearance in zend is a red herring as it is only a comment. I haven't worked out why I have seen this when looking at registration yet.

      This feature will be removed in PHP 7.0: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.httprawpostdata.php

      Some users are experiencing the HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA related errors:

      Request for http://glux/mdk/mnet29b returned empty response
       
          line 134 of /mnet/lib.php: call to debugging()
          line 115 of /admin/mnet/peers.php: call to mnet_get_public_key()
      

      If you are experiencing the error above, please add the setting always_populate_raw_post_data = -1 to your php.ini.
