hello. i hope i have the correct mailing list this time. i have apache 1.3.6,jserv 1.0, jdk 1.1.8, jsdk 2.0 on windows nt. i am trying to use mod_rewrite to direct anyone accessing http:/localhost/... (either a servlet or an html form )would be redirected to a servlet ( or rather an html form which calls a servlet) to verify their userid, password and JServSessionId, and pass it along using cookies. i was successful doing this (with rewrite rules) but there are times where i get an error saying: this url doesn't allow the method post" ( or something to that effect). also, there are times when calling a servlet ( http://localhost/servlets/SERVLET_NAME it doesn't get sent to the html form i mapped it to. when it does work, i want to redirect it ( once eveything is verified and put into a cookie) back to the original servlet one was trying to access. example: if one wanted to ge to my servlet "HelloWorld" i first want it mapped to a html form,which calls a servlet and everything is verified and then sent back to "HelloWorld". i tried several redirect statements and such (it goes to the html form to log in) but i can't figure out how to send it back to the original destination. any ideas, hints, pointers on how to fix this 'post'error and the redirection to the original target, or addresses of different lists will be great. thanks. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
