problem with Form method=post with SSL

Hope i've picked the right forum for this question and i'm Sorry the question is so long also I hope it makes sense.


I am using php and mysql on a raq4 to run some forms. the first is called from a link on http:someaddress and information is passed to subsequent forms using <FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="https://someaddress"> if I use http://someaddress everything works fine with each form opening in turn. If however I use https://someaddress when I click on the origanal link the first form opens up with the padlock showing and I enter data into relevent inputs when I click on submit half the time the next form opens ok but on other occassions when I click submit "DNS could not be found" flashes up at the bottom of the page in the status bar and I get a 404 error page showing - this happens very quickly and almost certainly doesn't look for the address-. if I then click back and resubmit it works every time (this is not a solution though for people using the site!!!) I have had exactly the same code working on another server using SSL for some 6 months with no problems the only thing that has changed is the physical server and at present I am using a self generated certificate.

Are you using IE by any chance?

Try with netscape, if it works then ask your host to upgrade to Apache-SSL

Mod_SSL has bugs that effect IE

thanks for that Darren,
however I read your previous post to freebsd and we are running apache-ssl. I will try netscape at home this weekend just in case. (i've upgraded to NN6 on my work PC due to reported errors with Javascript but thats another story)

Ah ok!

Try putting the full URL in the post, that might help (Just guessing now)
