Author POST vs GET with SSL and JSP
M Bedoian

2004-02-26, 6:33 am

I am having a very strange problem.

My basic configuration:

OpenSA/1.0.4 / Apache/1.3.27 (Win32) tomcat/1.0 mod_ssl/2.8.11
OpenSSL/0.9.6g PHP/4.2.2 mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a DAV/1.0.3

I have one HTTPS virtual server defined, and a number of JSP pages
some of which are forms whose method is POST.

When using IE 6 as a client everything works under HTTPS. My
SSL_REQUEST log shows the following:

[26/Feb/2004:02:49:44 -0600] 216.103.59.225 SSLv3 RC4-MD5 "POST
/calendar.jsp HTTP/1.1" 1310


When using Mozilla 1.5 POST from the same jsp file causes the browser
to hang under HTTPS (not HTTP). No entries or changes in the log
files, no errors. If I change the POSTs to GETs everything works
fine.

based on another post I tried:
Keepalive off
This has not helped. Any suggestions?

TIA

Some additional info that may help. If I wait long enough the browser
ultimately returns:

"Document Contains No data"

Also, I am using a self-signed certificate made with OpenSSL

Thanks again if anyone can offer some clues for me.
