in reply to OT: Safari and AuthCookieDBI

That looks like a POST request squeezed into a GET request query string. Most bizarre. Is the page submitting this doing anything strange in Javascript? Like changing form.method midstream, perhaps?

    Nothing that I know of .. it's a relatively bog standard login page. I use

    <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="get" name="login_form" act +ion="/LOGIN">
    to open the form .. the submit control and a hidden field are very ordinary.

    Well, it looks like nothing's going to happen .. since it's doing something non-standard, we just won't support it. Frustrating. Thanks for your reply.

      Try dropping the enctype, I bet that's the problem. That enctype (multipart/form-data) is only supposed to be used for POST requests. A sane browser would just ignore it for a GET, but I guess Safari is having an off day! Alternately, change the form to use POST instead of GET, which should also fix it.

        Thanks, my SysAdmin tried that, and it worked.

        This login page was created over three years ago, and I'm not sure why we used that combination of enctype and method.
