Opera browser submit form problem on SME server-manager
« on: April 04, 2004, 11:43:50 PM »
Hi all,
I've been in contact with opera developers because it wasn't saving the forms in the SME server, I was thinking that was an Opera's bug, but it seems that it isn't.

I'll post now what one of developers told me...

I'll explain it since you've been so helpful: actually the problem is that  
Opera tries to give the server what it asked for. The server has sent a  
form with enctype="application/x-www-urlencoded" (which is wrong because  
the usual value is enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded").

Opera dutifully reproduces this enctype and sends the data back to the  
server labelled as "application/x-www-urlencoded" - and now the server  
gets seriously confused by the unknown content-type it does not know how  
to handle.. (IE does not run into this problem because it ignores unknown  
enctype properties.)

Is this something you could relay to the creators of the SME server  
software? It is really a bug in the SME server management scripts.


This is the explanition that they told me...

Regards!

Old news. Pick up the latest formmagick packages from any e-smith mirror in the devel directory.
