in reply to enctype required??

After looking at the source of the latest CGI (3.07), it looks like
1) CGI understands POST data of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and
2) CGI treats POST data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded if no Content-Type is specified by the browser.

Can you confirm your browser is omitting the Content-Type header, or that it's set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded? What happens if you set the enctype to application/x-www-form-urlencoded?

The issue in 442565 concerns generating forms using CGI and doesn't bear on this problem as far as I saw looking at the source.

    Thanks, I just tried it with application/x-www-form-urlencoded It still behaves the same and does not send the data to the back end.

    I am running IE6 which should send the default.

    I tried looking for CGI errors and saving the CGI to a file using the $q->save(FILEHANDLE). Nothing gave me any hints.
