HTTP Status Code 400 w Redirect

Don Miller · Dec 3, 2003

I used a Response.Redirect "page.asp" as the last command in ASP code that
processes a submitted form from an Adobe PDF form (using HTML format). For
some reason, if there is any linked file (image, stylesheet, javascript) in
the target "page.asp" IE hangs until you press Escape. With Refresh, the
page loads completely.

I checked the web log and the entry for "page.asp" is 200 (OK) but all the
files I mentioned above all show 400. The description for this status code
is pretty generic and not much help (a syntax error in the request and the
server doesn't understand it).

Does anyone know what 400 actually means?

I can't control the syntax of the request so how can this be fixed? (and how
could the submit from the PDF form have anything to do with this since other
HTML forms directed to an ASP page with images, etc. works fine?)

Thanks.

Never did get any of those errors cited in that FAQ. Did try setting the
properties before the redirect with the same result (IE or IIS hangs).

In the meantime, I hacked a work-around that does an inelegant redirect
(that works in this situation though). I'd really like to do a standard
redirect.

<% 'asp code to process PDF form data %>
<html>
<body onload="parent.location.href='target.asp'">
</body>
</html>
