Hi
I have an HTML page with a form using POST method.
My result page is an ASP page. When I check results it seems the post method is not working and the method in use is GET. I checked the log file and it shows that the ASP page is running twice first with POST and next with GET method.What is wrong with my IIS5 congiguration? I am using IE6 + IIS5 on Windows XP PRO.
Thanks in advance for help
 
Does your ASP page post to itself or to a different page? If it is posting to itself then it should run twice, but if it is not then there is probably a typo in your code.

Can you provide a little more info? -or- can you provide a snippet of the code?
 
Levi, Thanks for responding. I have problems with method POST when I use IIS 5.1 + IE 6.x on Windows XP professional.
When I use method GET that's OK.

For example:
Page HTML:
<form name=&quot;frm&quot; action=&quot;results.asp&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<P>Login: <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;login&quot; size=&quot;15&quot; value=&quot;mylogin&quot;>
<P><input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;GO&quot;>
</form>

Page results.asp:
<%
Dim login
login = request.form(&quot;login&quot;);
%>
LOGIN = <%=login%>

Result:
1) Method Post:
LOGIN = Bad
2) Method Get(with request.querystring(&quot;login&quot;)):
LOGIN = mylogin OK

What's the problem with POST method?When I get the server variable REQUEST_METHOD it always returns as GET, No matter what I used in my form.

Many thanks in advance for responses.
 
I noticed that when I keep the ENTER and then click on the submit button it works and the result is:
Request Method =POST
LOGIN = mylogin
But without keeping the ENTER down the result is:
Request Method =GET
LOGIN =
I think there should be something wrong with the cache in IIS.
Help please!!!!!!!!
