ASP <%= Request.Form() %> Returns Blank

The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

ASP <%= Request.Form() %> returns blank if the browser sends the duplicate "Content-Type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded" header field to an Internet Information Server computer. The correct content is returned if the page is refreshed in the browser. This problem may occur if the ASP page referenced in the Form tag in a page is in a different virtual directory with a different authentication method.



CAUSE

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
