Method=post in OWA

We are running a Windows 2003 domain and Exchange 2003. Some of our
users create an HTML based email that has form fields and a "SUBMIT" button
the "method=post" works just fine in Outlook 2003.

The problem is when a user uses OWA. The "SUBMIT" button doesn't work.
When I view the source code in OWA it seems that OWA removes the word "post"
leaving just "method=". Anyone know why OWA strips out the word "post"?

Thanks for any and all help.

Considering the fact that Forms Based Authentication used
"method="POST" in the FORM tag, I'm not convinced that OWA's the
culprit. :)

Do you have anything that disarms potential threats in HTNL between
the client and the FE server? Or between the FE and the BE server?

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the reply. We don't have anything that blocks things like that.

Time, then, for a network sniffer to watch one of the sessions and
verify if the data arriving at the FE server actually contains the
POST or not.

Well you would think it does because everything works just fine if you open
the same email up using Outlook. So the POST info. has to be there.

Except your FE servers may not be on the same network. You can spend
more tme arguing over what the problem *might* be than it takes to
find out what it really *is* -- especially if the debate takes place
in a newsgroup where the exchanges take place in slow mothin. :)
