We've seen this behavior with Netscape browsers back to 3.0 for both GET and POST. It seems to be triggered by META tags in the content. We first noticed it when trying to set the charset of a page. For example: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> In our case the work-around was to specify the charset in the HTTP Content-Type header and leave out the META tag. --bob Bob Congdon Iris Associates [EMAIL PROTECTED] =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
