RE: Apache problem with MSIE

The fact that you see different results in web browsers reveals the answer to your question: the Apache web server does not change in your experiment.

 

The answer to your question: understanding the stateless protocol of HTTP (REST) is why your application will respond with preserved fields when the back button on any browser retrieves the page from a web server. If your browser fetches from it’s own cache, then it can preserve the field values as a convenience – that is probably why you see the difference in the browsers.

 

Either way, Apache and your application are not involved when a browser chooses to go BACK and restores form field values.

Subject: Apache problem with MSIE

 

Hi All,

I am working on Apache 2.0.50 on Linux, proxying the requests to weblogic server by path using the location block.

Here is the problem: In application,When i simply hit the browser back button, i can see that all the commentents being lost which were entered in previuos page.

Its only happening with MSIE, where as it is working fine with firefox.

is it a problem with application code or apache webserver settings?
