Mike, Thank you for the quick response. I tried different string value on both browsers, they have the same problem. net-snmp's snmpset -V 2C (snmp v2) have the same problem too. But snmpset -V 3 (snmp V3) does not have the problem. I used another browser (besides the above two) which allow me to use SNMP V3, the problem goes away. If the agent code has problem, why it works with V3? Thanks Chi

Try pointing that browser at a different string value and changing it to something shorter. Seems to me it isn't managing its buffers correctly. If the different string (make sure it isn't vital!) has similar problems, then your browser is at fault. Otherwise, it's your code - are you perhaps not properly terminating the string?
