Project: Tomcat Category: Bug Report SubCategory: New Bug Report Class: swbug State: received Priority: high Severity: serious Confidence: public Environment: Release: 3.2 JVM Release: 1.3 Operating System: NT OS Release: 4.0 SP6A Platform: Intel Synopsis: Redirect fails with IE after posting a form to a servlet Description: All versions of IE that we've tested fail to perform a redirect that is sent in response to posting a multipart/form-data encoded form to a servlet. IE displays something about an invalid response (exact wording varies with version). Netscape works fine but we have to support IE too :-( I found that the problem is that the isapi_redirect.dll doesn't put a space after the colon when it's spitting the headers back to the client. Looking at the HTTP spec, it doesn't appear that the space should be required but it appears that IE is relying on it for processing the Location tag in a redirect.Title: BugRat Report # 519
