Details |
A web page containing a form is accessed via a URL of the
form "http://webserver/servlets/MozTest?xxx=123". When the
user clicks the submit button and the form is posted, the
query params "xxx=123" are lost. This is different behaviour
than both Nav 4.73 and IE 5.x. This makes Mozilla unusable
with our current product.
Example servlet that demonstrates the bug:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;
// Demonstrates bug in Mozilla build 2000020608
//
// Query parameters are lost on the form POST operation
// This is different behaviour than both Nav 4.7 and IE 5.x.
// To test:
// 1) Invoke using "http://webserver/servlets/MozTest?xxx=123"
// 2) Note the value of the parameter "xxx=123"
// 3) Submit the form by clicking the button
// 4) Note the query parameters are lost!

public class MozTest extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
res.setContentType("text/html");
out.println("<html>");
dumpParms(req, res);
out.println("<form method=post>");
out.println("<input type=submit>");
out.println("</form>");
out.println("</html>");
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
res.setContentType("text/html");
out.println("<html>");
dumpParms(req, res);
out.println("</html>");
}
private void dumpParms(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println("<h1>Parameter Values:</h1>");
Enumeration e = req.getParameterNames();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String)e.nextElement();
out.print(name + " = ");
String values[] = req.getParameterValues(name);
for (int i=0; i<values.length; i++) {
out.print(values[i]);
if (i < values.length-1) out.print(", ");
else out.print("<br>");
}
}
}

I have a fix for this in my tree. It's a slight variation on bug 25330 - the
fix was to restrict *that* fix to only GET and not POST!

Nominating for beta2. This bug completely breaks some sites that require query
parameters (part of the URL after the ?) to be preserved when posting a form.
There is one dup already but may be more not yet reported.
I have a fix for this bug in my tree and it is a very safe one-line fix to not
chop off the query parameters if we are doing a POST but only if we are doing a
GET.

Fix checked in.
To verify, go to the test case from bug 43065:
http://www.bestplaces.net/html/crimecompare2.asp?lstate=MS&rstate=TX
You'll see two list boxes with cities from Mississippi and Texas. Select a city
in each list box, then click the Compare Cities... button. You should see a
page that compares the two cities. If, however, you get:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e57'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver]Invalid string or buffer length
/html/crimecompare2.asp, line 102
The bug is not fixed.
