I didn't test IE. I found no randomness, it always occured, however the data did sometimes get through from the post when the browser was reloaded. I'm sorry to hear you will not be continuing with this, I have had to revert to 1.2.0 (where the problem doesn't exist), and loose the benefits I found in 1.2.4, namely the fewest server errors we have ever had If you want us to liase on a tcp test, or whatever I will talk to our Unix adminstrators about setting something up thanks again for the prompt response Lee > ---------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 1997 1:38 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: mod_cgi/1292: post method randomly works > > Synopsis: post method randomly works > > State-Changed-From-To: open-closed > State-Changed-By: dgaudet > State-Changed-When: Tue Oct 21 17:38:31 PDT 1997 > State-Changed-Why: > This is probably the same problem as that described in > PR#1142 <http://bugs.apache.org/index/full/1142>.
