I would like to correct this, it seems to only happen with IE6/7.. maybe old firefox 2.0
We recently observed a similar problem. When IE 6/7/8 make a form POST, they often send the header in one TCP packet and the body in another. A flaky networking component at our site did not forward the second packet to the Tomcat server.
Effect: Tomcat 6.0.18 waited 20s, then proceeded to reply to the request *without parameters*. Presumably it decided that the connection had timed out, the content-length it had received in the header was wrong and that the real content-length was zero :-)
As far as I know, splitting header and body of POST requests into separate TCP packets is a peculiarity of IE browsers. This observation was made using normal HTML forms, but it may well apply to AJAX POST requests as well.
