automatic form redirection (not wanted)
Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 2:49 pm
I have a site which I hosted at provider A, but 1 month ago I moved it to provider B. While moving, I used a temporary link - temp_link_b.
So, when somebody wanted to visit me, both provider A and provider B were redirecting all the requests to temp_link_b. This way I could maintain all visitors in one unique place.
After a couple of days, when most name-servers found out my new location (provider B, not provider A), I removed the redirect on provider B, so anybody was able to see my site on provider B. I tested and all the links were working.
Now, I received (and verified) a complain. Some user, when fills a form sent by POST method, is redirected to temp_link_B.
I thought it may be somewhere in the code... but:
1. many visitors (including me) does not have this problem.
2. I searched the entire code - no mention of temp_link_b in any file or DB
3. The user have this problem both in IE and Firefox, even after cash was deleted.
4. Even if form has full address (http://...) in action field, still the user is redirected to temp_link_b
5. All the links appear OK and are not redirected. Only the forms (all the forms) are redirected.
Did anybody had this problem before? Any idea what else to check?
Thanks much!
