Hi Leon,

I tried you snippet below, and got the expected url -- namely, the one specified by the "action" attribute. I also got the name-value pairs for the submit button and hidden field.

Since my test server is on port 8501, I edited your "action" url to include that port number, as follows:

action="http://localhost:8501/cgi-bin/test/cgi-bin/test?rm-login";

Here's the packet that was sent by Safari to the server on port 8501, as follows:

--- POST /cgi-bin/test/cgi-bin/test?rm-login HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8501 Connection: close User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/125.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.8 Accept: */* Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate;q=1.0, identity;q=0.5, *;q=0 Accept-Language: en-us, ja;q=0.62, de-de;q=0.93, de;q=0.90, fr-fr;q=0.86, fr;q=0.83, nl-nl;q=0.79, nl;q=0.76, it-it;q=0.72, it;q=0.69, ja-jp;q=0.66, en;q=0.97, es-es;q=0.59, es;q=0.55, da-dk;q=0.52, da;q=0.48, fi-fi;q=0.45, fi;q=0.41, ko-kr;q=0.38 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 34

update=update+particular&rm=update
---

Note that no additional information was appended to the post url (see first line of packet above); also note that the form field name-value pairs appear correctly (see last line of packet above.)

To view packets sent between Safari and the server, I used INTERARCHY. See the following link for details:

Hope this info helps.

Regards,

- Jeremy

I am testing with the following HTML with a simple test CGI on my OS X machine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> <head><title>Welcome</title></head> <body> <h3>Welcome </h3> <form method="post" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/test/cgi-bin/test?rm-login"; enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="Form"> <h4><input type="submit" name="update" value="update particular" /></h4> <input type="hidden" name="rm" value="update" /><div></div> </form> </body> </html>
I found Safari behaves differently from IE and Netscape:
- I run it in Safari. I click the "update particular" button I got the URL like this: http://localhost/cgi-bin/test?rm=login?rm=update which obviously created error
- When I run the same HTML on IE and Netscape I got the URL like this:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/test?rm=update
