SYMPTOMS
Plugins fail during a call to NPN_PostURL when hosted in Internet Explorer 4.0x (IE4).



RESOLUTION
Append post information onto the end of the URL and use NPN_GetURL instead.

For example, instead of this   NPN_PostURL(instance, "http://url", "", 9, "postdata", FALSE); Use this   NPN_GetURL(instance, "http://url?postdata", ""); There is an upper limit of 2k on a GET URL. For larger amounts of POST data, there is no workaround available at this time.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1.
