This reminds me of the problem with Netscape 4.7 on Windows. A GET works, a POST doesn't, at least for my Zope servers. With NS, you have to click on the title bar to get the process to completefor a POST. Works fine with IE. We haven't tracked this down yet, but the HTTP submitted by IE and NS looks the same sa far as I could tell. This suggests that NS (and perhaps your testbed) is waiting for some response that it isn't getting. It's pretty strange, because you'd think a POST would be about as simple to implement as a GET. I know that doesn't help directly, though. Cheers, Tom P [Paul Zwarts]
In my own test with Shockwave, using a POST method, the form does not process. Using a GET with a query string of course, DOES trigger zope properly. But perhaps its my logic gating in the form?
Obsserve in ZOPE only: Name :index_html
<dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('submit')"> do something </dtml-if>
<form method=POST> <input type=Submit name=submit> </form>
Easy enough, yes? Now take something non-zope and try to post the submit. The 'do something' never occurs and nothing suggests that there was an error. Simply a zero-byte response.
