[users@httpd] CGI script executing twice
I have been having problems with my scripts executing twice so I looked
at the log file and saw this.
"POST /cgi-bin/addToCart.pl HTTP/1.1" 200 6473
"GET /cgi-bin/addToCart.pl? HTTP/1.1" 200 6417
The first time this script gets values from a form post and works
correctly, the second time it gets no values and executes a second time,
is there a way to stop this? And why is this happening? BTW it doesn't
happen if the user is using an old version of Netscape. 4.7.

But that's kind of my point. :-) This is most likely something dumb
and stupid, but looking at log files, guessing about configurations, and
trying various permutations of html code is the slowest way possible to
solve it. I'd bet $1 that if you saw exactly what was going on you'd
know exactly why the browser first tries a POST and then a GET. And
doing this is very easy with Ethereal.

Both post or get depending on the request type coded though... he's getting
one post and one get and it's browser dependent.

Maybe, the user that clicks the send button in your form, makes a double
click very fast. This causes that the browser send 2 requests.
You can make it, just double click very fast.

Actually, I don't think it's a JavaScript problem (see my previous post,
which crossed yours). Try accessing the template file with a browser that
has no JavaScript (like Lynx) or has it turned off (or maybe use telnet),
and look at the logs. That way you _know_ the JavaScript isn't causing the
problem. Maybe it's a funky Apache configuration...

I need to try that. . . Anyway I didn't change anything in the Java
Script, all I did was comment out the part of my perl script that read
the templet containing the java script to test and that solved the
problem. However I still haven't figured out what it is in the Java
Script that is causing the reload (I haven't studied java script yet,
someone gave that to me) In further testing just loading that templet
file by typing the URL http://cdw.homelinux.com:8086/Cart.html in the
browser I get two gets one for just cart.html and one for cart.html?
why the ? is added to the second get I have no idea. But I think it is
pretty clear that it is not a server side problem. . . I guess I need to
send the info to a java script list now. Thanks for everyone's help

Argh! When I saw the result page (after selecting 1 CD from song2.html), I
looked through the JavaScript for an "onLoad" action, or something else
that might cause the page to be reloaded. You must have removed the extra
code just before I looked...
Anyway, telnet makes a nice tool for tetsing Web servers (and
scripts). You always know exactly what is being sent to the server, and
what the server sends back.

Well I don't think that is the problem since I get the two entries in
the log by just loading the templet my script was reading as an html
file. But my script can be read here

OK, now I'm confused. What you are saying is that the above file
(Cart.html) is what your addToCart.pl script reads in, and you changed the
Perl script to prevent that. Now you do not see the extra GET in your
logs, but your output doesn't have all the fancy stuff around it,
right? If you didn't change the JavaScript, then it still doesn't make
sense. I see nothing in the existing JavaScript that would cause the page
to reload. What does your Perl script look like?
BTW, when I ran my telnet tests your script still produced the template
around the dynamic output, so you must not have made the changes at that
time. Could you check the log files to see if the were two GET entries at
the time I was testing (Mon, 15 Dec 2003 07:49:03 GMT)? I only sent one
GET request, so the server only got one from me. If there are two, then
most likely the browsers aren't at fault.
BTWA, your script seems to output a superfluous "Content-Type" header.

The reason you saw the get is I changed the form from POST to GET to see
what would happen. All it did was give me 2 Gets, but then I was
thinking about it and figured started thinking about the templet file my
script was reading and printing around it's dynamic output. There is a
lot of java script in there and I was wondering if that was making it

the java script and low and behold problem solved :) Now all I need to
do is figure out why the java script is making my script reload and how
to stop it.
Here is a link to just the templet file with out any of the dynamic data
from the script in case anyone cares to look at java script.

(The server rewarded me with lengthy output. Since I already tried to
access your site with a browser, I knew what to expect. I believe I got
the same output my browser got, so I won't reproduce it here)
Now you should check you logs to see if the GET and POST entries are in
there. You should only see a GET entry.
BTW, I find it odd that the POST entry in your logs comes before the
GET. Your static HTML page states the form method to be GET, so that is
what a browser would use.

This can't be that hard. . . there has to be something I'm missing
here. This happens on a redhat 6.2 machine with Apache, a win 2k
machine with Apache 2 and a redhat 9.0 machine with apache 2.

If I were you I'd download and install Ethereal and get a packet capture
of the entire browser-server conversation. Something is obviously wrong
here, but without a capture it's rather like looking for a needle in a
haystack, blindfolded. THere are precompiled Ethereal binaries for
windows, it's really not terribly hard to do. You might also try
Mozilla's "live headers" plug-in. There are doubtless countless other
programs that can achieve the same effect, but Ethereal is the old
standby.

I fixed my html as you suggested and it still does the same thing. It
has this behavior with IE, Netscape 7.1, and opera. With Netscape 4.7 I
get this. . .
"POST /cgi-bin/addToCart.pl HTTP/1.0" 200 6521

Not much to it as you say. Does it behave the same way if you close the
form in the proper place e.g.
</form>
before the </html>?
Also you mentioned something about this being browser specific? Have you
tried it on IE? Maybe it's the browser rather than the server causing the
multiple requests.

I check your source code of song2.html. I think you should change the
value of METHOD from GET to POST, because you are submitting the form
data to the script addToCart.pl, not calling the script from a URL. In
the current situation, the Apache server is somehow confused.

The form that contains the post that executes that perl script is here
on my testing server
http://cdw.homelinux.com:8086/song2.html
All that is in there now is the minimum form to get the thing to work
for testing so it is only 8 lines of html.

Can you post the URL? This sounds like something in the HTML coding gone awry.
