i guess the Internal Server Error is because of some internal error the cause could be anything like Null Pointer Error or something. u could have a look at the error logs and find the reason hope that helps   Rohan   -----Original Message----- From: GW [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 7:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: strange url anyone have an idea Hi all   I would like to know if anyone has an idea why this happens:   I have a servlet entry in my web.xml:   <servlet>   <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>   <servlet-class>path.to.Myservlet.class</servlet-class>   <init-param>         <param-name>propertiesLocation</param-name>         <param-value>path.to.properties.file</param-value>   </init-param> </servlet>   the properties file holds info about the path to the jsp to be served etc... when I make the request:   www.localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet?page=MainDir/jsptemplates/MainIndexSearchPage.jsp&search=dfgfdg   everything works fine... with getParameter("search");   dfgfdg is returned.   Now when I insert this form:   <form method="post" name="forma" action="/servlet/Myservlet?page=MainDir/jsptemplates/MainIndexSearchPage.jsp"> <input type="text" name="search"> <input type=submit" name"search"> </form>   I get an error 500 (internal server) with a url displayed like this   http://localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet?url=%2Fservlet%2FmyServlet%3Dsearch=dfgfdg%2Fjsptemplates%2FMainMovieSearchPage.jsp&Search.x=17&Search.y=10   it looks like the url gets build up again for some reason i know the %2F etc... characters is the browsers interpretation of special characters.     does anyone know why this happens?   Kind Regards GW DISCLAIMER: Information contained and transmitted by this E-MAIL is proprietary to MASCOT SYSTEMS LTD and is intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
