Dear Rock the Kazbah and the list, I was just hit by this problem when using ajax request with firefox . (I know this mail is REALLY old ) Anyway ,for those guys ,like myself ,that are supporting ,applications written with apache::asp ,there are must be somebody that at least will have write permissions to the module on CPAN . As an example this Content-Type bug from 2008 totally breaks ajax post request from firefox. There is a simple fix ,but we need somebody to apply it. Thanks. Evgeny
