(If this is off topic for this group, please gently tell me :-)

I'm trying to use a perl script on a linux box to redirect a form
submission from the linux box to a Mac.

What I find is that the form variables are missing from the redirection.

I've just spent a couple of hours cruising the web (including the RFC for
HTTP 1.1) and can find no statement as to what should happen with form
variables.  As best I can tell, the client has the sole responsibility for
what to do upon receiving the redirect message from the initial server.

Relevant facts:

  linux http server: Apache
  browser: Netscape 4.01 for linux
  Mac http server: WebSTAR 1.2
  Mac cgi: Netlink 4D/4th Dimension 3.5

THANKS!

Relevance to the group?  There is perl, and there is a Mac, and I use and
love MacPerl, and Vicky just complained that there was no traffic on this
group :-)

Also, if my reading of the RFC is correct, then this will affect MacPerl
cgi scripts just like any others.
