Ajax bizare

G

GTi

I have a bizare Ajax POST problem.
I use Ajax POST to send data to the server.
The server get the POST and answer back.
BUT if I POST the data once again I recieve the same answer that the
first post give me, even if the answer is different. I have used HTTP
Analyser Std V2.1.1.15 and I see that the answer is different. But the
Ajax .responseText is the same as the first POST. It looks like it use
the cached respons.
In the RFC the client should never use the cache if it is a POST.
And to make sure I have added a new serial=xxxx in the POST URL for
eatch requests.
But still get the same result as the first POST into the JavaScript
(but the respons from the server IS different).

Here is the server responses from HTTP Analyser:

You need to set some Content Headers when your server resource replies:

Cache_control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache

This will tell the UA to always get a new response, not use one from
cache.

Make that Cache-Control (dash, not underscore)...Sorry.

A small correction: the last one (Pragma) doesn't handle the UA's cache
mechanics. It instructs the intermediary servers do not serve the
request from their proxies but to re-request the source server (where
understood of course).

Firefox has POST problems with some versions of IIS, because some IIS
are using a non-standard packets split-off in response (if not
patched). IE likes it, Firefox wants it in the conventional way. Search
bugzilla.mozilla.org for "IIS server POST packet length", I don't have
the exact bug URL. I'm not saying it is the reason: just one more
direction to look at. Maybe c.i.w.a.h. and mozilla.org can be more
helpful.

OK, Ajax IS now reported fit :)
I tested it a little more and added a alert in my function:

function AjaxFormPostItalertContents()
{
if(AjaxForm.readyState == 4)
{
if (AjaxForm.status == 200)
{
var result = AjaxFormPostItHTTPRequest.responseText;
alert(result);
document.getElementById('PostInformationWindow').innerHTML =
result;
}
else
{
alert('There was a problem with the request.');
}
}
}

In the alert window I did see that the values from the server was
changed,
but NOT in the 'PostInformationWindow' <div>
How come ?

Nasty gobblins in your computer? :)
That must be some communication problem with 'PostInformationWindow',
without an actual page it's difficult to say. From the most recent
"misteries" of this kind: are you using full-qualified page with
<html>, <head> and <body> : or a "lazy version" with body elements
only? (Firefox spits on the last one).
