Posting data to secure site fails

T

Tom Wood

I think I may have found another bug in IE.

I have developed a web page to send payments online to paypal. I am using
the default self signed cert for the site. However, when I am sending
several fields of data, IE does not actually post the data. It does goto
the page, just without data.

I have tried it over http and it works every time. But with https, it fails
MOST of the time. It always works with netscape 7.1 regardless of ssl.

If you would like to see it in action, visit https://www.pack207.com/pay.
Select one of the payment options and it will present the input data. When
entering 3-5, it will fail most of the time with IE 6 sp1 on win2k or xp.
Cant really speak to other versions of ie as I do not have them available
any longer. Have tried from different networks as well as os.

Do you have any suggestions? Reccomendations?

Thank you,
Tom Wood

This seems to have fixed the issue. Will it be available in a critical
update soon?

Is there something I can put in the page to prevent this from happening?

any suggestions?
