Well I tried unchecking "Show XMLHttpRequests" and the problem didn't
go away.
I also tried from a different machine with FF3 but no firebug. It
didn't work on that machine either.
I've been in contact with the back-end developer and he created a
short c program to test this problem.
Here's the code:
char *im;
main(int argn, char **argv) {
int i, n = 0;
im = strrchr(argv[0], '/') ? strrchr(argv[0], '/') + 1 : argv[0];
printf("Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n
\n<HTML><BODY>"
"<H1>%s</H1>", im);
if (cgierrors( )) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s can not access CGI data: %s\n", im,
cgivalue(0));
printf("Can not access CGI data: %s\n", cgivalue(0)); }
else n = cgiitems( );
fprintf(stderr, "%s sees %d positional parameters and %d CGI fields
\n",
im, argn - 1, n);
printf("<BR>There are %d positional parameters and %d CGI fields
\n",
argn - 1, n);
for (i = 1; i < argn; i++) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s positional parameter %d: '%s'\n", im, i,
argv[i]);
printf("<BR>Positional parameter %d: '%s'\n", i, argv[i]); };
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s CGI '%s' equals '%s'\n", im, cgitag(i),
cgivalue(i));
printf("<BR>CGI '%s' equals '%s'\n", cgitag(i), cgivalue
(i)); };
printf("</BODY></HTML>\n");
exit(0); }
FF3 output:
<HTML><BODY><H1>logcgis</H1>Can not access CGI data: Script can only
be used to decode form results
<BR>There are 0 positional parameters and 0 CGI fields
</BODY></HTML>
FF2/IE output:
<HTML><BODY><H1>logcgis</H1>
<BR>There are 0 positional parameters and 2 CGI fields
<BR>CGI 'F10' equals 'Yes'
<BR>CGI 'F11' equals 'No'
</BODY></HTML>
For those of you familiar with c programming, is there any problems
with the above code that might be causing this ajax issue in FF3?
Thanks!
