HTML POST command doesn't work . . .

[davef]

I have done a search on past messages, but not finding the answer to
my problems.

I have Arora running on the mini2440 (ARM9) platform and really would
like to sort out the following:

- when I send a POST request to my local webserver I get the password
that I use to change information on this page the number of times I
have tried to change, ie 41 times at the moment. I could change the
code on the webserver to handle this problem, but there must be a
better way to do it. It seems like there is some record being keep of
the password AND the record is being added to each time I type in the
password. BTW, Arora did the right thing the first time, but now with
the incorrect password strings it doesn't work properly.

- another issue is that if you do a <refresh> and say yes to resending
the data, then the page that is displayed is an old version of the
actual page being served up. IE incorrect. This sounds like a
<history> issue, but I if clear history and all Private Data the same
thing happens.

- when I highlight and type into my Password box I don't get the
normal black dots for each character entered. I can live with this.


Arora for this machine was built from git within the last week or two.

$ git clone git://github.com/Arora/arora.git
$ cd arora
$ qmake
$ make

This is the .config for the ARM9 platform

./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -prefix /usr/
local/Qt -qt-mouse-tslib -little-endian -webkit -no-qt3support -no-
cups -no-largefile -nomake examples -optimized-qmake -openssl -nomake
tools -nomake demos

Arora on UBUNTU 9.04 on a x386 seems to behave in a similar way for
POST request. <Refresh> seems to work properly. I just did apt-get
install arora for that.

Could someone point my towards some key words or posts which might
help me out?

Thank you for your time.

Dave

Well I have made some progress here . . .

In my /.qws/share/data/Arora I found autofill.dat

If I delete this file every time I send a POST to my web page things
appear to work as expected. If I go into tools->options->autofill and
untick the box <Autofill web forms> I can't get it to save this
selection.

Unfortunately, my screen doesn't allow me to scroll down to the bottom
of the Preferences/Auto fill page.

CTRL and - doesn't work in this view.

Is there some way to save this preference or do I get stuck into the
source code?

Also, I haven't been able to find a list of Arora compilation
switches.

Appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,
Dave

Problem solved.

Tools -> Preferences -> Edit -> Form Passwords -> Remove all -> OK

A double click on the bar at the top reduces the image size.

Unticking AutoFill web forms and hitting OK at the bottom doesn't seem
to do anything.

However, I am happy.
