Hello,
I am also interested in this patch, as we encounter lots of problems with
some POSTed forms over here. Sometimes we get several "Inernal Server
Errors" until the form gets processed correctly. It usually is enough to
click on 'Reload' to get the form processed. This behaviour occurs only
using IE 5.5SP2 (Exact version: 5.50.4807.2300). Mozilla is working fine,
obviusly without using NTLM...
Gerald, was the logfile I sent you helpful?
Thanks,
Frank

Yes, I have seen the same from traces people have send me, but could not
reproduce it here (my IE always sends the POST data)
I have modified your patch to handle both situations and to have the old
behaviour in case of GET requests (for performance reasons)
I send you the updated version per private mail, please give it a try if
it
still works correct for you and let me know. I will release it to CPAN as
soon as somebody who had had the problem reports me that the new version
solves it.
