HTTP POST error with non-ISO-8859-1 chars and disabled controls
When entering text containing non-ISO-8859-1 chars into textarea controls in a HTML form declared as of method=POST, enctype=multipart/form-data and containing some "disabled" controls at its end, it is possible that IE6? What about IE7? IE6 does compose an illegal (malformed) HTTP POST request. The malformed request is not empty but misses the first multipart boundary string and the directly following static text. The page is eventually required to be set to "charset=iso-8859-1" to show the behaviour.
Maybe the problem can be worked around by declaring the page delivering utf-8 instead.
An example of a page showing the behaviour is available from the author of this paragraph I am a J2EE developer building J2EE Web apps. Yet development targets on IE55/6 on NT4/XP, but I try to stay as browser independent as possible. But customer rules... ZipwiZ, but you need a network traffic sniffer to watch things happen.
