---------------------------------------------------------------- BEFORE YOU POST, search the faq at <http://java.apache.org/faq/> WHEN YOU POST, include all relevant version numbers, log files, and configuration files. Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hi , It has been suggested to me by Nick Marchall (who had a similar problem) that this problem is caused by the NetRevolution distribution for Apache. He solved the problem by switching to the standard Apache distribution. Before I do that, does anyone have an alternative? When I use the following url: http://boink.home/example/SnoopServlet?oops=3 , the result returned by getQueryString is null. The servlet is one of the example servlets included by Sun, and works with servletrunner. Retreiving parameters from a post request works with jserv. System Info: - mandrake linux 6.1 - apache 1.3.6 (advanced extranet server by NetRevolution) - jserv 1.1b2 (rpm) - jdk1.2pre2 I've tried turning on all logging, but this has not helped me solve the problem. The access log contains the following which looks correct: 192.168.168.1 - - [24/Nov/1999:21:15:56 +1030] "GET /example/SnoopServlet?oops=3 HTTP/1.0" 200 896 "-" "Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.13-7mdk i586)" I will be happy to provide configuration files and/or log files if that will help. BTW there is a thread currently in comp.lang.java.programmer with the subject "Apache/Jserv/Java" which also discusses this problem, but at this point there is no answer.
