One "super-servlet" intercepts all requests made into my system, reads the extra path info, and then dispatches the request to another servlet. Many of my servlets have their doGet() display a page, with a form action that points to the servlet's doPost(). This doPost(), after checking the input, would dispatch the request to another servlet, or it may simply call its own doGet(). Sometimes, however, when on the page displayed by the original doGet, form submission does not work as planned. Instead, I will get a message of the following form: Error: 400 Location: /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL If I do a refresh right after getting this message, it works fine. It's also not entirely reproducable...sometimes the process works without a hitch, sometimes it doesn't. Oh, and it only seems to happen under the various flavors of IE. I have tried everything that I can think of...I've tried modifying the "super-servlet", the individual processing servlets themselves...nothing seems to work. I was wondering if anyone could help me find the cause of this bug...does anyone know under what conditions this sort of message would be returned? Any help would be greatly appreciated...I'm at my wits end. > Jason Reid Technical Consultant AGENCY.COM 100 Woodbridge Center Drive, Suite 102 Woodbridge, NJ 07095 Email: jreid@agency.com http://www.agency.com "Do not meddle in the affairs of programmers, for they are subtle and quick to anger."
