submitting web form timeout issue
This is an extremely bizzare issue that I am rapidly running out of ideas
on how to tackle. I'm not certain this is the right forum, but then again,
I'm not sure what problem really is, either.
I have two different domains with web material on them, on seperate servers
thru different companies. One page contains a log in form and is hosted in
the first domain. The action for the form directs it to a cgi on the second
server:
<form name="LIform" method="POST"
action="https://xx.xxx.xx.xxx/cgi-bin/fpcgi">
<input type="HIDDEN" name="TWClientLogIn" value>
<input TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="Field_ddir" value="/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
<input TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="Field_base" value="tttttt">
<input TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="Field_cmd" VALUE="rreport zzzz -fp yyyy -sr
1055 -n -u">
<input type="text" name="UName" size="30" length="50" maxlength="50"
value=""><br>
<input type="password" name="Pwd" size="20" length="50"
maxlength="50"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Login" name="B1">
</form>
This works just fine on 95% of machines. However, some Windows machines
report a timeout when trying to submit the form. It is not an IE issue -
using FireFox on such a machine also results in a timeout. So I am fairly
certain it is a Windows issue.
So far both affected machines are Windows XP Service Pack 2. However, many
machines on which it works are also XPSP2. I've gone through and fiddled
endlessly with the internet security settings, disabled the firewall,
deleted all cookies and SSL certs, shut down every running process but those
the system needs to run, etc. No dice. Anyone have any advice or seen a
similar problem? I could really use a clue, here.
