Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I know Peter MacIver has been having similar problems although I believe he is still stuck. I'm getting problems with the POST method also: Take this example - I have a Html file: Simple page with a form as follows... <FORM NAME="ServletForm" METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://oak.eeng.dcu.ie/Admin/CreateNewStaff"> Simple verification and then a call to document.ServletForm.submit() The servlet is simply as follows: import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class CreateNewStaff extends HttpServlet { PrintWriter out; public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException, ServletException { res.setContentType("text/html"); out = res.getWriter(); out.println("<html>"); out.println("<head>"); out.println("</head>"); out.println("<body>"); out.println("<h1>Servlet Output</h1>"); out.println("</body>"); out.println("</html>"); out.close(); } } If I open up the html file: see http://oak.eeng.dcu.ie/Admins/newstaff.html and submit it then I get a BAD REQUEST 400. Request the browser can't understand etc. In mod_jserv.log I get: [17/12/1999 10:19:09:573] (ERROR) ajp11: Servlet Error: POST is not supported by this URL The end of jserv.log is: [17/12/1999 10:19:09:556 GMT] Read: HUser-Agent Mozilla/4.7 [en] (WinNT; I) [17/12/1999 10:19:09:556 GMT] Header: User-Agent=Mozilla/4.7 [en] (WinNT; I) [17/12/1999 10:19:09:556 GMT] All data read.

Likewise if I use the GET method it works fine too. Any ideas please - feel free to try it out. It's a strange one. Thanks. David Molloy System: SunOS oak 5.7 Generic_106541-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 Running apache_1.3.9, Apache_JServ_1.0, openssl-0.9.4, mod_ssl-2.4.8-1.3.9 JDK1.1.8 (latest 1.1), Oracle8.1.5, JDBC. Everything is working together finally apart from the POST method (the last bastion). I haven't made any significant changes apart from those needed to get the system all up and running so I don't see how I could have 'broken' the POST method. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Please read the FAQ! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives and Other: <http://java.apache.org/main/mail.html> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
