User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: As the summary says, when I am doing a post submission on a "_blank" targeted form which open a new tab, none input of the form are actually submitted to the server and I got no data on server side. Here is (also attached with this ticket) a simple php page test I did set up to demonstrate it: <html> <body> <?php if( $_POST["name"] || $_POST["age"] ) { echo "Welcome ". $_POST['name']. "<br />"; echo "You are ". $_POST['age']. " years old."; exit(); } ?> <form action = "<?php $_PHP_SELF ?>" method = "POST" target = "_blank"> Name: <input type = "text" name = "name" /> Age: <input type = "text" name = "age" /> <input type = "submit" /> </form> </body> </html> Actual results: The new opened tab doesn't get any of the submitted values. Unlike any other browser as well as Android's Firefox browser version that actually do get values. I also tested it with a different server app (java webapp). Expected results: I should except to see the submitted values into the new opened tab after the form has been submitted.
