Re: Strange CGI, some progress

["Bruce Jin" <brucej@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am on 95, as is my co-worker. Our IE5s are exactly the same in version
5.00.
The strange thing is that when I use my IE5 to access my local as400, the
input string of the form is sent to server differently based on if the
search page itself is output of a CGI or a html file (and this html file is
saved from the source of the CGI generated page). This was described in my
first posting.
I now know that when I use my IE5 to access easy400.ibm.it CGI, it still
does not send string correctly, even though the page is an output of a cgi
program.
