>Number: 4757 >Category: mod_jserv >Synopsis: "POST" Parameter are not decoded when running an applet within >netscape >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: jserv >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Fri Jul 23 10:10:01 PDT 1999 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.36 and Jserv final 1.0 >Environment: jdk 1.1.7 on Linux (blackdown), Netscape Navigator 4.06 or higher or Netscape Communicator 4.5 or higher on Linux and WinN >Description: Running an applet within the Netscape browser versions named above cannot submit "POST" parameters to a servlet URL.
Running the same applet within HotJava Browser 3.0 or MS Explorer(WIN NT) 4.0x with the java com. kit works well. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: The problem is based on to the Content-type linked with a HttpRequest send by different browsers. Netscape browsers set as content-type "multipart/form-data", other browsers set as content-type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". However, Jserv requires the content-type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" in order to decode "POST" - Parameter (see org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.java, l ine 768). Fix: change the code that netscape content-types are allowed. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
