Hi Marc and all,
I just spent some time tracking down a problem with my test suite and
found it is due to the new htmlunit jar mentioned below. I won't have
a chance to check whether it is my change or the version of the code
in svn until after the weekend, but the new problem (that goes away
when I go back to the standard jar) is as follows:
When I have a form that is submitted, and then redisplayed with an
error message e.g. if a field is not filled in correctly, and then I
modify the field to fix the problem and resubmit, the modifcation
seems to happen correctly (no problem recorded even in debug mode) but
the old value and not the new value is posted back. Specifically this
is happening for select dropdowns.
regards,
John

Hi Marc and all,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, it is really a Get with a redirect to itself (302).
I agree about the ?. It is only my guess but I think from playing
around a bit that when the site gets a URL that isn't quite right it
redirects to a default one, which happened to be the one I was trying
to hit a month or so ago, and so by pure coincidence the ? trick
worked, but on the new page I'm trying to hit it doesn't and instead
redirects to the other one.
I have managed to such down the htmlunit-1.10 source and patched it to
just remove the ignoring of HTTP 302 Responses so that it now handled
the redirect of a Get to itself, and it has solved the issue. I have a
new jar file I can use.
I don't know how to go about requesting this change for the next
htmlunit release, if people think it is a sensible one. The quick hack
I did was:
patched WebClient.java:
if (webRequestSettings.getSubmitMethod().equals(SubmitMethod.GET)
&& webResponse.getUrl().toExternalForm().equals(locationString) ) {
// getLog().warn("Got a redirect but the location is the same as the
page we just loaded "
// + locationString + ". Skipping redirection.");
// replaced with below 20070104 JWL:
final WebRequestSettings wrs = new
WebRequestSettings(webRequestSettings, newUrl);
wrs.setRequestParameters(parameters);
return loadWebResponse(wrs);
// end of change 20070104 JWL:
Can you advise please ( I know you are a committer of htmlunit) ?
regards,
John
