Folks,
Can anyone enlighten me as to whether it is possible to send the
following from a cgi script and have Internet Explorer understand it.
Location: http://host:port/serverpath/@command?target=value;state=value
The redirect to a Netscape client works fine. The same Location header
to Internet Explorer results in a 404 error although the URL is
submitted to stdout without hitch. If you hit the refresh on the IE
browser - page displays fine. Sending a second name/value pair, i.e.,
&name=value instead of the state/value (;state=value) results in a
404 also, which leads me to the conclusion that I may be unable to
send the entire URL in a Location header. If so, any other alternatives
that other cgi scripters are using would be appreciated.
Thanks, Sue
