IE6/XP: Limitation of POST Area within HTTP request?
Summary: IE6/XP: Limitation of POST Area within HTTP request?
Product: Tomcat 3
Version: 3.3.1 Final
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: Blocker
Priority: Other
Component: Unknown
AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: JamesHenderson@corsof.com

When I try to access the following JSP using Tomcat 3.3.1 using IE6 as a
browser on Windows XP with all three components running on the same machine), I
receive the following message:
"The page cannot be displayed."
Alternatively, the browser will hang, awaiting a response from the server, but
ultimately serving nothing.
This appears to related to a limitation to the POST area of the message. This
hypothesis was drawn for two reasons:
1. The error does not occur if only 27 hidden elements are displayed.
2. The name of the hidden element is changed to be something smaller (like T).
[Then, as a result, it may be possible to increase the number of hidden
elements.]
I have examined this problem changing:
1. Netscape 6.22, in place of IE6 (also IE5.5)
2. JRun 3.1, in place of Tomcat
3. Windows 2000, in place of Windows XP
If I substitute one element out of the IE6/XP/Tomcat combination, everything
will work without failure. I can submit the form over and over and over again
without failing. It is only the combination of IE6/XP/Tomcat (again, running
locally) that produces this problem. (I can use IE6 on WinXP to access this
JSP on another machine running Tomcat, and the JSP will execute properly.)
I was hoping to use Tomcat 3.3.1, since Tomcat 4.x is still under production.
I would appreciate any assistance that can be provided in diagnosing this error.
Here is the JSP:
