Amaya 3.1 doesn't seem to process HTTP redirect headers properly. When a user logs into Yahoo! Mail, her browser will receive 3 redirect messages. This might be for security or something. Netscape 3.04 has no problem with this. It interprets the messages and goes to the new locations, eventually winding up in the user's account. But Amaya seems to have problems. It displays a dialog box asking the user to confirm each redirect. That's okay, but even if the user does confirm each redirect, Amaya doesn't go to the new pages. For Yahoo! Mail, this means that the user allways gets the "Login" page no matter how many times she's input her name and password and clicked on the "Sign In" button. My personal machine is running a web server for testing purposes. I've been able to verify the following things: * the cgi-scripts are creating the correct "Location: ..." header lines in their output * the server is creating HTTP redirect headers and sending them back to the browser * the browser "Amaya" is unable to interpret these requests All of my CGI forms that don't use "Location: ..." header lines work properly with both Netscape 3.04 and Amaya 3.1. All of my CGI forms that DO use "Location:..." work with Netscape and DO NOT work with Amaya. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send online invitations with Yahoo!
