After typing in my zip code in the provided text box, weather.com returns a
strange CGI error (see attachments).  Works fine in Netscape.

Build: Nightly M10 / Sept 02, 1999

(note, would try latest, but doesn't even start up on the Mac here)

Jud, can you check this one out?

I dug and dug and dug. I think the server doesn't like the charset info being
passed along in the content-type header we send out to it in the POST request.
I'm cc'ing (and emailing) rick to find out where this is set (I can't, for the
life of me find it).
I think that the content-type is getting set in
mozilla/layout/html/forms/src/nsFormFrame.cpp.

I believe that the POST headers are written to the POST stream before the actual
data...
Rick's right; on both counts. The latter is bad :(.
Indeed. If we remove the charset param from the content-type header being sent,
life is good and this bug goes away. I've cc'd ftang as he put the charset stuff
in for post data.
