Re: Apache problem with MSIE

["prash reddy" <reddy.web@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for response, but the application is working fine with iPlanet webservers (with IE and Firefox). Reccently we upgraded webservers from iPlanet to Apache 2.0.50

We are using a Oblix (WSSO) Authentication mechanisam in this scenario to access the application, and the intresting thing is, it is working just fine without this Authentication.

Do we need to take care of any apache directives regarding authentication?? or redirection??

Thanks,
Sharath

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?
