Hi,
I use mod_rewrite to provide simpler URLs for my database-driven site. My document root's .htaccess contains the following line (among others):
RewriteRule pages/([0-9]+) cgi-bin/show.pl?id=$1
It works fine.
But some of my pages are password-protected. For these pages, show.pl displays a form where username and password can be entered. The form calls the script itself:
...
$q->start_form(),
qq{<p>Benutzer<br />}, $q->textfield("user_name"), "</p>",
qq{<p>Passwort:<br />}, $q->password_field("user_password"), "</p>",
$q->hidden("id", "$id"),
$q->submit;
...
If the username/password are entered correctly, show.pl is called again with three parameters (id, username and password), and the protected page is displayed
Unfortunately, when sending the form, the browser's address bar changes from
http://mysite.com/pages/1234
to
http://mysite.com/pages/1234?id=1234
The page itself is displayed correctly.
But why is the query string added? When I change the form's method to get, I get
http://mysite.com/pages/1234?user_name=user&user_password=pass&id=1234&.submit=Senden
as you would expect.
Why is the "id=1234" part still added when using POST?
Thanks,
Jan
