User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.12) Gecko/20070508 Firefox/1.5.0.12 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.12) Gecko/20070508 Firefox/1.5.0.12 When saving as 'Text document' the output in text format of a POST the form is reposted but without the HTTP_REFERER (ENV vars). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go the the page:http://dc1.chass.utoronto.ca/pwt/naalphacountries.html 2.Chosee one item in the first and second boxes and choose 'Plain text' as Output format (in the form) 3.Hit submit button 4.From Menu, choose FILE/SAVE PAGE AS...text document 5.See the content of the file. Instead of seeing the content of the output form you see an error message reported by the script when called with no parameters: '<html><body><b>Incorrect request. Please use the website links to retrieve the data. Thank you!.<b></body</html>'. The same if you call the script like this: http://dc1.chass.utoronto.ca/cgi-bin/pwt61/retrieve_pwt61 Actual Results: A script custom error, it was invoked with no POST parameters. Expected Results: See the results of the form in the txt file.
I can reproduce this using Firefox 2.0.0.6 on Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.4. I can also reproduce it using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007080815 Minefield/3.0a8pre. This exists at the Firefox level. Camino outputs the file as plain text just as it's supposed to. Maybe a dupe of bug 115174? See also bug 359175.
