Form Data lost

[stuartt Profile]

This is my rewrite config file:
# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.1.0.87

RewriteEngine on

#This protects forms from losing data
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^POST$ [NC]

#Redirect extension requests to avoid duplicate content
RewriteRule ^([^?]+)\/$ $1 [NC,R=301,L]

#Redirect extension requests to avoid duplicate content
RewriteRule ^([^?]+)\.html$ $1 [NC,R=301,L]

#Internally add extensions to request
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule (.*) $1.html



I have a problem when a form is submitted, the data is still being lost.

Any suggestions.

Can I isolate the page from the rewrite ?
the page is /contact/emailer.html

Thanks

Hello,

You can't do both 301redirect and transfer data.
You need to add the following condition to the rule that applies. This will avoid losing data for POST forms.

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^POST$ [NC]

Hi Andrew.

What do you mean by "You need to add the following condition to the rule that applies" ?

I included my complete config file in the above post.

I do not know what rule you have failing, so basically you need to make the problematic rule look like:

e.g.

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^POST$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^?]+)\.html$ $1 [NC,R=301,L]

I examine your post, but i think that there should be more talk about the threat that have initial started, so that the reasonable amount of data'll be available for decision, However, Nice post to talk about, well i like this. Regards
