1: HTTPS posts getting blanked in ACS 4.2
Posted by Roberto Mello on 01/31/03 01:14 AM
Hi all,

We still have some ACS 4.2 installations here and we're seeing a curious problem with nsopenssl.

If the user POSTs a page through https and he/she hits an ad_page_contract filter which tells him to go back, when the user clicks "back", the page gets reloaded and all the values lost.

Has anyone seen this behavior? Is this an ACS 4.2 bug? Wrong nsopenssl setting? I'm just looking for clues of where to look for problems. The behavior doesn't happen when through HTTP.

Thanks in advance.

-Roberto

I thought this was by design.  SSL-delivered pages are not even stored in the browser cache, are they?

IIRC Internet Explorer has a setting that was set by default (I can't remember in what version, sorry) to cache locally the SSL-delivered page ... :(
