Using Mozilla 0.7,
When I fill in a text box on a form with a '.' in the string the '.' gets
submitted to the cgi as '%A9'. With Netscape 4.76 it remains as a '.'
Does anyone know what is going on here? Is there something that I can
change in the browser an option or setting or something? Or is this a bug?
Anyone care to try this simple form and shell cgi program and report if
they get the same result?
dotform.html
------------
<html>
<body>
<FORM method="GET" action="/cgi-bin/dot-test">
<P>
Enter Text:<BR>
<INPUT type="text" name="string" size="20" maxlength="40"><BR>
<INPUT type="submit" value="Submit">
<INPUT type="reset" value="Cancel"><BR>
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
dot-test
--------
#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
echo "received:'$QUERY_STRING'"
--
In Netscape 4.76 the result is
received:'string=my.e-mail.address'
But in Mozilla 0.7 (and 0.6) the result is
received:'string=my%A9e-mail%A9address'
So what gives?
Many TIA's
Pete
