Hi:
I am new to PERL-CGI programming.
i have a simple CGI application.
There is a form localhost/form.html which invokes the run.pl script at localhost/cgi-bin/run.pl
This perl-cgi scripts parses the form paramters and executess an application. and displays the message that produced results are available at localhost/result.htm
The user clicks on this URL and goes through the results.
Now when i click the back button on the browser IE6. It gives following message
Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available. As a security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically resubmit your information for you.
To resubmit your information and view this Web page, click the Refresh button
At this moment the the address field of the IE6 is showing localhost/cgi-bin/run.pl. when i click the "refresh". It again automatically behind the scence sends the previously submitted form paraters to the run.pl cgi script and that again runs the application and produces the results again.
I want to disable this second and subsequent execution of the run.pl cgi scrip. The run.pl should only execute when the user clicks the submit button on the form rather than 'reload' on the IE6.
Any help
thanks
