Re^2: OT: Safari and AuthCookieDBI

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">
[download]

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. -sam	[reply]

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. Alex / talexb / Toronto "Groklaw is the open-source mentality applied to legal research" ~ Linus Torvalds	[reply]
