I've got a bit of a better grasp on the problem now....I think it's an
interaction with POST data...
I have a form in foo.html....
<form action="/rms/admin" method=post>
<input type=hidden name=task value=process_config>
...other form fields...
</form>
I submit this form, and in /rms/admin, it gets handled like this....
# suck in form values, stick them in objects, blah blah, then get to the
redirect...
$r->internal_redirect('/rms/status?task=display');
and what happens is that /rms/status complains that it doesn't know how to
handle task=process_config. So, somehow the value for 'task' that was
POSTed in the first request from the form gets passed onto the second
request, apparently overriding the
'task' value of 'display' which I am trying to set in the url string I'm
giving to internal_redirect().
I don't want any of the POST data to get passed onto that redirect. Any
thoughts? I saw a note in the API docs that $r->args() can be used to set
the query string and that this is useful when redirecting POST requests. I
tried doing a $r->args('task=display') right before the call to
internal_redirect, but no luck.
Thanks,
Fran

that's pretty odd.
given two scripts, one.pl:
shift->internal_redirect('/perl-bin/two.pl?internal=redirect');
return Apache::OK;
and two.pl:
my $r = shift;
$r->send_http_header('text/plain');
print "args is ", scalar $r->args, "\n";
I get the right results:
$ GET localhost/perl-bin/one.pl?main=request
args is internal=redirect
are you returning OK right after your internal redirect? does setting
$r->args() before calling the internal redirect to a third value
change anything?
