Re: POST vs.GET: msg#00008

Subject: Re: POST vs.GET
Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply. I think I know what the problem is. It is not petal but the apache mod_rewrite that does not handle the post request correctly. I will see if I can find a solution to that.

Regards,
Jing

Hi Jing,

Is this script running under mod_perl? If so, are trying to read in the POSTed data twice? POST data read can only be read once under mod_perl.

These are the things I have tried:
1. <form method="get" action="some_petal_page.pt">: works fine;
2. <form method="post" action="some_cgi_script.pl">: works fine;
3. <form method="post" action="some_petal_page.pt">: does not work. It looks like my browser does not recognize "some_petal_page.pt". It acts like I am downloading a file. Just to clarify, I have a "request-broker" perl cgi that retrieves all the parameters passed from a petal page, and processes the resulting petal page.

I was trying to use method=POST in my form since I have a very long parameter to pass. But I realized that POST does not work with petal.



Try it with double-quotes:

 <form method="post" ... >
