I'm trying to develop a plug-in under Linux that uses the NPN_PostURL API function in order to communicate with an external URL (i.e. a Perl CGI script), but no data arrive at the destination. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Call NPN_PostURL, e.g. in the NPP_New routine of the plug-in: NPN_PostURL(instance, "http://myserver/cgi-bin/pwd.pl", "_self", myLength, myData, FALSE); (as described in the plug-in documentation of Netscape) 2. Install the plug-in. 3. Load the corresponding HTML page. Actual Results: The plug-in is called and executed appropriately and cgi-bin/pwd.pl is called from the plug-in, but no data arrive at cgi-bin/pwd.pl. Expected Results: The CGI script pwd.pl should get the data in myData with the POST method (as it does if the plug-in is used under Windows).

The same bug is found under Solaris (and possibly all other UNIX systems) as well.

vandenhouten@datan.de - to deal with your problem, we need a little more information. What build of Mozilla are you using? The Build ID is in the bottom right hand corner of the browser window. Also, would it be possible for you to attach a self-contained test case to this bug (link above)? Gerv

Ever confirmed: true
NPN_PostURL is part of the old Netscape plugin API. Adding '4xp' keyword.
