Hello, I have problems adding post-data to the URL typed (or saved as a
bookmark) in MSIE.

This URL typed or opened from bookmarks in firefox works ok, but not in
MSIE:

https://login.gulesider.no/gsi/login...&pw=mypassword

It's the redirect "value" that becomes wrong.

username and password are submitted, and then you are redirected to:
https://login.gulesider.no/gsi/sms.do?spraak=

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As I say, it works fine in firefox, but not in MSIE. I have also tried
adding "" to the redirect, but no..

Best regards,
Øystein Bakke Larsen

this URL is passing the username and password to the original URL
(loginProcess.do), whereas I suspect you want to pass them to the redirected
url (sms.do)

if this is the case, you will need to url encode the portion

https://login.gulesider.no/gsi/sms.d...&pw=mypassword

so that it becomes

https%3A%2F%2Flogin.gulesider.no%2Fgsi%2Fsms.do%3Fspraak%3D%26userId%3Dmyname%40server.com%26pw%3Dmypassword

Hi,
A Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (832894- February 2004)
removed that functionality.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS04-004.mspx

See: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=834489 for additional information
and possible workarounds.

Hope this helps,

Well, the script logs into the page successfully, but I am not
redirected to the new site.

And no, it cannot pass the username and password to sms.gsi, it's all
to be passed to loginprocess.do.

Logging in works ok, but I am not redirected.

Any sollution?

(only needed due to OP using quoted-printable which is NOT recommended for
Usenet posts)

Read RFC 1738 "Uniform Resource Locators", section 3.3 "HTTP", that defines
the URL syntax for the HTTP protocol. You are allowed ONE "?" delimiter
separator to denote the parameters portion (after the path portion). You
have TWO parameter delimiter characters in your URL so parsing is unknown
and undefined. There is no syntax defined for having recursive
<searchpart>'s within the URL for HTTP (i.e., you cannot have a <searchpart>
inside another <searchpart> because the "?" delimiter is a reserved
character that the first <searchpart> uses for parsing).

ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1738.txt

RFC 3986 updates RFC 1738 but it also denotes the use of only a single "?"
delimiter character to differentiate between the path and query portions of
the URL; see section 3 "Syntax Components".

ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3986.txt

You are using illegal URL syntax. If Firefox support it then they do so at
their own discretion and are not RFC compliant. As Andy suggests, the
redirect is a parameter so maybe escaped-encoding the "?" character (as %3F)
in the value for this parameter would eliminate the parsing problem. You
can test to see if percent-encoding works.
