I have identified a problem, without being able to identify the
exact cause and/or fix. So, here I am, perhaps some smarter minds than
mine may have a go at it.
vpopmail 5.4.0 qmailadmin 1.2.0 InternetExplorer 6 + Windows XP.
The IE6/XP combination gets to the "Cannot change to directory"
page when trying to do various things in qmailadmin, which have nothing
really in common other than the use of the "POST" method (according to my
access_log, all GET requests are always successful). Login, browsing user
base, etc, all work fine. I've had reports from credible clients, that in
rare instances, it will work correctly (say the 20'th time they try
something, though the exact ratio I was unable to get figured out).
Perhaps I am chasing my tail on the POST vs GET thing, but it was a
corrolation I made in the logs, so I mention it here).
The problem cannot be duplicated with identical IE6 version on
Win2k at least, and possibly others. Cannot be duplicated with Mozilla on
Win2k either, or as far as I can tell, Mozilla on any platform.
Since it works with all tested browser/platform combinations
except the IE6/XP, I presume the fault lies with IE6/WinXP. However,
since IE6/XP is probably the most common brower/platform on the planet (or
thus sayeth my apache logs), this is a pretty serious problem for me, as I
have clients breathing down my neck over this issue.
I generally suspect some kind of encoding issue with how IE6/XP is
setting up the POST (broken encoding?), and/or how qmailadmin interperts
it, or a problem in IE and how it maintains session data perhaps?
I've seen that this has been discussed in the list archives, to no
resolution. I put forth the above as additional information, hoping that
some resolution can be found. Any additional information from myself
regarding this problem, I will be happy to provide if someone will just
ask what they need to know.
Thanks in advance,
