Re: [cobalt-users] CGI script writing twice

[Gordon <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two things i know of that will do this, certainversions of internet
explorer have a bug that makes it post some forms twice, and doing a
redirect in certain situations (especially with a delay) can do this, i
havn't seen this happen in the default setup on a raq tho...i suppose it
could happen on SSL if the cert isn't the right one for the IP , the
server miight renegotiate it after the fact and retry the POST, but the
form isn't supposed to get the first one, have the form echo it's
enviroment and see what settings are in effect when it's posted...
