I created an form using a script similar to formmail. It's a cgi which i've placed in the scgi-bin of my homedir. I'm also using SSL so I have to call up the form like follows:

https://domain.com/~mydomain/blah.html

In the form action, I used POST and whatever I put as the action URL, IE always gives me an error. The only time it doesn't give me an error is when the action is:

http://www.mydomain.com/scgi-bin/script.cgi (NOT SECURE)

The following action commands all yields errors in IE:

https://domain.com/~mydomain/scgi-bin/script.cgi
./scgi-bin/script.cgi
/scgi-bin/script.cgi
...

I can't figure out what's wrong :( Someone have any ideas?

What does the error say?

Page cant be found..Generic IE error message. But when I copy and past the action URL into the browser, it works. Wierd :(

Have you checked error_log?

If you receive an Internal server error, it could be scripts.

If you see Page not found, then its the set up of SSL, your https can not find the script you are refering to.

I went nutts on this for weeks and have since seen this problem on other websites, they probably don't even know it exists. There is a bug.

Try putting this in your Apache httpd.conf. under your virtual host settings.


SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0


Hope it works for you too!

Hmm...
if that doesn't work for you, contact me at herps@ewsnl.com

I'll have a look at it,
we might be able to fix it with a scriptalias or so

Brad, thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, I don't own the box that I'm working on :( I guess I have to find some other way to do this. I've been stressing over it for like 9 hours trying to figure it out :)

Eagle, thanks for your offer too!

Yes, you should notify your host of the problem. Here is a link to the bug report.
