I work extensively with Netscape 4.7, under Linux.
I do lots of "POST" (e.g. in the ZMI) and never saw this
behaviour (just tried your example, works perfect).

Under Windows, I use IE. I hate it to say, but it is better than
Netscape 4....
But colleagues (and customers) use Netscape and I never heard
of such behaviour.
