Intermittent 'cannot find page' error after submit by post

I get an intermittent 'cannot find page' error when I submit a form via POST method within a https connection using MSN explorer. When I submit the data (name, address etc) for the first time the next page is nearly always a page not found error. When I retry the submission it works. The action in the form just brings the user to another page which checks the validity of the submitted data. I have been reading some other forums and I've seen suggestions about using GET before POST just so the server connection is set. Register_globals is on.

I think I may have. The problem, at least as far as I could tell, was the connection. Either the connection would time out or the browser just wasn't patient enough.

Thanks for your suggestions. I think there is more to it. It doesn't happen in Netscape. I have a suspicion that all of the post data is not being sent to the server as in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=821814

found the solution
