POST doesn't work; PUT does

[Tom Gibb]

When we use a POST in a web page such as in :

<FORM ACTION="servletTest"
      METHOD="POST">
we get the following error:

HANDLER THREAD PROBLEM: java.io.IOException: Stream closed prematurely
java.io.IOException: Stream closed prematurely
        at org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.AJP12RequestAdapter.readNextReque
st(Ajp12ConnectionHandler.java(Compiled Code))
        at org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.Ajp12ConnectionHandler.processCon
nection(Ajp12ConnectionHandler.java:134)
        at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpConnectionThread.run(SimpleTcpEndpoint.j
ava:338)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:498)

However, when we use:

<FORM ACTION="servletTest"
      METHOD="PUT">

The servlet runs fine with no error.  We are using Tomcat 3.1.

Thanks for any insights you have into this problem,
Tom
