Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529
I have an HTML form with a hidden field; the value of the field is, say,
"test test "
When this form is submitted to the CGI the field is POSTed to the CGI without
the trailing line feed.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Here's the example CGI script I used to diagnose the issue.
#!/devl/perl/5.6.1/bin/perl -w
$request_method = $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'};
if ($request_method eq "POST") {
read (STDIN, $query_string, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
print "Content-type: text/plain", "\n\n";
@chars = unpack('C*', $query_string);
foreach $c (@chars) {
print "$c " . chr($c) . "\n";
}
} else {
print "Content-type: text/html", "\n\n";
print <<EOF
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Title</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="/twiki/bin/testcgi" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="hidden0" VALUE="test test value ">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>
</BODY></HTML>
EOF
}
Actual Results:
When I press the submit button I get
104 h
105 i
100 d
100 d
101 e
110 n
48 0
61 =
116 t
101 e

Expected Results:
I expected to get back (and, dare I say it, IE5 returns)
104 h
105 i
100 d

In other words, I expected Mozilla to preserve the value of the text field.
