the rewrite causes a normal POST turn into a GET, hence the cgi info is lost. The same thing appears to happen for a simple version of the above using Redirect. see problem report 4247, I beleive this to be the same problem.. >How-To-Repeat: set up two web servers, one has the POST form on it the other has the cgi programs. redirect the local cgi directory using mod_rewrite to the second web server (the one with the cgi scripts) >Fix: look for the request_method prior to the rewrit rule being applied and try not to munge it. >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:").
