Details

the following html fails to do anything on submit: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>test</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY><FORM ACTION="https://x.y.z/blah><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT></FORM></BODY></HTML> however making the action http:// instead of https:// works fine. it works in an older version of netscape and in ie5. afaict the above html is valid (eg a http:// form with a https:// action) (the attached URL will make your browser full screen, i've sent them an email about it, they don't seem to care. i'll keep doing so.)
wfm 2001070404 w2k What build are you using ?
Mozilla 0.9.2 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010701 it also failed with 0.9.1 but my machine was otherwise misbehaving then and i wasn't sure it was a mozilla problem.
Works for me on the 7/5 branch WinNT and Linux builds.

Experiencing same problem with linux (RH7.1) And Build ID 2001080312. I tried it with the windows (NT4.0) build (???) and it worked fine. For a website that produces this problem, try: http://www.fool.com/login.asp?ref=topnav

https://login.yahoo.com does not load at all with Mozilla 0.9.4 (RH7x build).
I've reinstalled Mozilla (Navigator only + SSL) from scratch and also got rid of existing config files and all of a sudden it works for me. So, please kindly ignore previous comment.
Paul, James: Did you uncheck the Personal Security Manager during install? Doing so causes will cause this problem on 2001111603 Win98. If this is the case, shouldn't there be a notification that pops up whenever you try to do something requiring encryption without PSM installed?
Also should note that if you're installing via RedHat RPMs, PSM is a separate package. It's apparently not included in the base Mozilla RPM.
I'm not forms owner.

guys: check out what Greg Valure worte in comment #10. if you want you can chose to download ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.6/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-0.9.6.tar.gz that works for me on RH7.1 (that oen comes with PSM2). If you find out that it works, please resolve this bug WFM. Thx!
