I have a desktop application that was developed by a company called ITC. The VB application takes simple information (name, address, vehicle info,
etc.) and uses a 'bridge' to pass an XML stream to a Cold Fusion application written to transfer the XML into our main web application.
A few people using this ITC application are experiencing errors that are very puzzling to me. The XML is passed to me in a HTML from a <textarea> form submission. This <textarea> has a form name of "packet". So, in Cold Fusion, I se a variable <cfset xml='#Trim(form.packet)#'> to start the parsing of the XML. However, on some computers, the form name coming over becomes garbled or corrupt during the transmission. For example, one computer I looked at passed the following form field names to my web
server:
Form fields should read the following when outputted using #FORMFILEDS#: BRIDGE,PACKET
Instead, I am getting various characters added to the end of the form field
names:
BRIDGE+AAA-,PACKET+AAA-
BRIDGE+AAA-C,PACKET+AAA-
BRIDGE+AAA-,BRIDGE+AAA-Câêó
BRIDGE+AAA-C ¤^ÐW[C,BRIDGE+AAA-C ¤^ÐW[C
I ran a few tests with just a simple HTML submit page and the same thing is happening even when I take the ITC application out of the mix. I created a test HMTL page on the computer desktop in question and received the following data: Form fields should read the following when outputted: TEST1,TEST2 Instead, I am getting various characters added to the end of the form field
names:
TEST1D-C ¤^ÐW[C,TEST2V+AAA-C ¤^ÐW[C
I've only been able to explore one computer where this is happening in one of our insurance agent's office, they have 3 computers there and this is the only one that is having this issue. Do any of you know how/why form fields can become corrupt during transmission?
I've tried the following on the form submission as well:
<form enctype="application/x-<form enctype="multipart/form-data"
<form enctype="text/plain"
I'm leaning toward a browser issue, maybe?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
