Creator 2 Applications and Oracle OC4J – The conclusion

I finally found the problem. I believe the Oracle HTTP Server/OC4J combination sends a bad HTTP Content-Location Header:

See the last Content-Location above, that’s the communication port between the HTTP server and  OC4J:-(

And KDE‘s Konqueror believed that Content-Location when it tried to request more pieces and finally for the POST on the button press:-(

Mozilla/FireFox/IE seem not to care too much about that error. They work.

That solves the last mystery with the OC4J;-)

Have fun,

Update Sat Jan 28 12:36:29 PST 2006:

 
See KDE bugs 51185 and 82747. Apparently Konqueror did the right thing but too many servers don’t send the right information in that HTTP Header element.

So now I only have to wait for a released version of KDE 3.5.

Thanks,
