http post on submit, URL being encoded
Date: Tue Jan 31 2006 - 23:51:53 CET
Prior to posting a form (.asp page) to a URL, I check the parameters
being passed and they are not encoded, but when the URL is served it is
encoded. How can I prevent this?
The code is as follows:
<%
Response.Buffer = True
%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="Content-Type: text/plain">
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function PostToURL() {
alert(document.formA.Source.value);
document.formA.submit();
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="PostToURL();">
<form name="formA" action="<%= Session("strURL") %>">
<input type="hidden" name='Source' value="<%= Session("strOpts") %>"
>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
My alert prior to the form submit shows:
http://website.com?planSource=TEST&planId=AAABBB0001&planId=AAABBB0002&planId=AAABBB0003&planId=AAABBB0004
The result of the post is:
http://website.com?planSource=TEST%26planId%3DAAABBB0001%26planId%3DAAABBB0002%26planId%3DAAABBB0003%26planId%3DAAABBB0004
