Howdy Marc, Yes, you are exactly right. There is indeed a hidden field on the page called "method". (It's becoming more obvious that this isn't my code. :-) This field is used on the server side. Sorry about the confusion.
So if you don't mind let me reiterate what I'm seeing with IE and with webtest. With IE (or FF, etc) the steps of communication are as follows: 1. The Add (i.e., Submit) button is clicked and a POST is sent to the server. (<form method="post" action=...>) 2. After processing the request, the Server returns a 302 message with a URL of the previous page. (HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily) 3. Then the browser code submits a GET to the location provided in the initial 302 response. (GET /admin/webLink.do HTTP/1.1) 4. And finally the server sends the requested page (HTTP/1.1 200 OK) To ensure that this is actually happening, I'm running wireshark (fka ethereal), to see exactly what's being sent over the wire, which looks like this with IE: 1. ---Initial POST--- POST /admin/webLink.do HTTP/1.1\r\n ... (other parameters) ... Content-Length: 52\r\n \r\n name=asdfasdf&url=asdfasdf&method=addSave&isSubEdit= 2. ---Initial Server Response--- HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily\r\n Cache-Control: no-cache\r\n Location: http://172.16.34.36:8080/admin/webLink.do\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n Content-Length: 0\r\n Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 16:21:05 GMT\r\n Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1\r\n \r\n 3. ---Subsequent GET--- GET /admin/webLink.do HTTP/1.1\r\n ... (other parameters) ... \r\n 4. ---Final Server Response with webLink.do--- HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n Cache-Control: no-cache\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n Transfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 16:21:06 GMT\r\n Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1\r\n \r\n <html>\r\n ... (remainder html document)... However, when I use webtest/htmlunit as my browser I get #1 and #2, but then #3 is never sent. As for the debugging run, here's what I got.
