Steve,

Martin is probably right with his comment, it doesn't sound like a SSL
problem but more a surrounding environment problem (browser, Apache,
Tomcat?, Struts)
1. Have you checked with a suite of browsers? Internet Explorer seems to
experience a lot of problems with HTTPS POST
2. Do you have SSLVerifyClient require active in your httpd.conf? If so
deactivate it and try again.
3. Look at the relevant <Location> containers for <LIMIT> directives in your
httpd.conf file. They should say something about Method. Add POST to this
method list and try again
4. Did you put your mod_jk/mod_jk2 (or whatever you're using) connection
configuration settings in the ssl.conf section of Apache?

Just some thoughts, maybe it helps you troubleshooting...

Cheers

Meint

Subject: Re: posting data through openssl to apache


Thank you Martin, unfortunately neither of these areas would be of any use
(I think) as using an unsecured url (ie HTTP://...) the site works as one
would expect.  Only when using the HTTPS://... does the POSTing problem
occur.  My guess is that this could be either an openssl or mod_ssl problem
and I was hoping that someone may have come across this problem before.

Thanks all the same

Steve

This has nothing to do with openssl.
ask @ a apache or struts related forum.
