Dan Fabulich - 21/Aug/07 09:40 PM In fact, this happens all the time if you use the Selenium proxy; since we now alwaysProxy by default, this happens quite frequently. The problem is that ProxyHandler.java assumes that if the browser's HTTP request includes a Content-Type header, then the browser's request must therefore contain content. In that case, ProxyHandler forcibly changes the method to POST. (For some unknowable reason, the browser JRE plugin passes a Content-Type on its jar GET requests; this is semantically incorrect, unless the browser is trying to send a JAR to the server in the body of a GET request!) Anyway, I've checked in a fix in RC revision 1939 to address this case. Now we assume that a GET request has no body, even if the GET request includes a Content-Type header. In investigating this problem I found and fixed SRC-326, which is a much more serious problem that would totally break applets. I suspect that SRC-132 may have been misdiagnosed as the cause of more general problems with applets, since doing an empty POST seemed not to harm anything; anyway, applets seem to work better now in PI mode. My test case was http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/applet.html. (Don't forget to clear your Java cache using the Java Control Panel before attempting to test this fix.)
