Resend Form Data on Huffington Post

In the past few weeks, I get this annoying message every 15 seconds, whenever I go to www.huffingtonpost.com:
"This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?"
I have not entered any form data.
This message started appearing after my office installed new web content filters The message does not happen in Internet Explorer, nor does it occur on my home laptop using Firefox. My office IT folks claim their content filter is not the problem (their usual reply to such inquiries). I would like to know if there is a setting in Firefox that can fix this issue.

  • This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?

    This alert pops regularly every 10-15 minutes:
    This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?
    I did some serious research / checked for viruses / removed and reinstalled Thunderbird and Firefox. Please read this carefully.
    1. With Firefox closed (default browser), I can open T-bird without any issues and use it just fine.
    but,
    2. the minute that I open Firefox, T-bird give me a popup message of: This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location? This is not under the Firefox Browser. It is under the T-bird Tab of my computer.
    It does not matter what kind of email you have open, whether it be text or HTML. It pops up.
    If I have T-bird open (default email client) and use Chrome or IE with Firefox closed it doesn't happen.
    Computer is Windows 7 Pro x64-Bit.

    This started after the latest Thunderbird update was applied. Like you I have done the same check outs. I found that Thunderbird starts then, without any direct request, FireFox starts as well. Then the messages start popping up. Have already checked and confirmed that the old FireFox posting fixes did not impact the behavior. Looking for an answer.
    Same configuration Windows 7 ThinkPad T430.

  • How do I stop the box "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?

    I have cleared my cookies and cache and disabled some add ons, but when in Facebook and specifically for Farmville, I keep getting the pop up box, "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?" I have closed and opened the browser, too and it still keeps coming up.... Please help!!! Thanks.

    You can't avoid that if the website is coded that way and data needs to be send from one server to another server.

  • How do i get rid of the confirmation popup that says This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed

    when navigating on certain sites (fiverr.com is one), i get the popup confirmation "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?"
    this is highly annoying and i can't find a way to turn this annoyance off. help!

    because of its impact on security this error message cannot be suppressed. you might want to contact the admins of the website where this is occuring and ask them to implement a handling of user input without sending it to a different server...

  • ASP Classic - post form data without form

    I have to send our account password and user entered form
    data to a page (which I can't modify). I don't want to use the Get
    method and I don't want to put our password into a hidden field. I
    would like to have the user fill out the form, which submits back
    to the page where I add my password field value via ASP, then send
    all of that data to another page via post.
    To further clarify, we are using a service and to add user
    data I have to also supply our account name and password.

    Get it from the database and when you send it make sure its
    sent as
    unencrypted text. Its all the rage...

  • I keep getting this error message on my Mac after my Mavrick upgrade: This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form dat

    how do I turn off this notification. I build web stores and this pops up when I access my store now. The stores have a redirect with masking through godaddy.com to hide the source of the store. I have reset fire fox, turned off most of the settings and still having issues. most of the forms on line are outdated.
    Thanks

    There is a way to turn off the warning for a 307 "temporary" redirect. However, bear in mind that customers will still see it, so you may want to reconsider the design for business reasons.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''redi''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''network.http.prompt-temp-redirect''' to switch its value from true (the default) to false.

  • Post form data

    Hello world,
    I need your help guys. I want to know how to post the data of a java application form
    which take a name and surname and post the data when the post button is pressed to a server. This is similar to html form, but the difference it that am using a desktop java application and I have a server that will receive the data when submitted.
    But my problem is that I don't know how to post the data as the form and the server are not in the same place and this is not a html form.
    it should be in the following format :
    http://www.mysite.com/form.php?name=bolala&surname=hello.From the url, bolala is the name entered and hello is the surname entered into the form.
    Please guys help me
    Cheers.

    That's a GET, not a POST. So which bit can't you do?sorry, I made a mistake! ignore the url above.
    I want the data to be sent to the server. the bit i can't understand it how do I post the data?
    Thansk for your reply.

  • Mutipart/form data in request

    Hi to All,
    I need to get the form bean object values in filter class from the request for doing some validation.
    For get request there is no problem to get the data from the request. But for the 'multipart/form-data'
    after reading the data in filter class , it is not able to retrieve in the action class. But I am using 'RequestWrapper'
    then the normal request datas get losed. I need to get the data from both POST and GET.
    Thanks in adavance ..

    Sunil,
    <u><b>Resstructuring Infocube</b></u>.
    With this function, you can fill an InfoCube with requests that have already been loaded into a BW, or into another InfoCube. You can, therefore, create a new InfoCube in BW, and use data that has already been loaded successfully into the PSA or into the IDOCs to fill the new InfoCube.
    In the InfoCube tree, choose the InfoCube that you want to fill > right click > Administrate.
    Choose Reconstruct > Selection, and, using the selection options, determine the requests that you want to use to reconstruct the InfoCube.
    Select the corresponding requests from the list, and choose Reconstruct.
    <b>NOTE:</b>
    This function is particularly useful, if you are loading deltas, that is, data that you cannot request again from the source system.
    Let me know if you need any further clarifications.
    Thanks
    Ramu

  • Problem with transfering unicode form data in MULTIPART/FORM-DATA

    HI experts,
    I have this web based multilingual application. Page 1(form6.jsp) is basic registeration form with 5 fields and one image upload to the server. Page 2(verify.jsp) is another jsp page for verification of UTF data entered in page 1.
    page 2 (verify.jsp) also uses a bean called (verify.java) for picking up values. page 3(insertEntry.jsp) is the page for inserting that data into the Database and uses a bean called (logicbean.java).
    Now, the problem im facing here is that if i use multipart/form-data, the unicode text filled in page1 is shown as garbage when its is transfered to page2 and displayed on page2. It is all gibberish. But if i do not use multipart/form-data, the unicode text transfered from page1 to page2 is displayed perfectly on page2.Im using devenagari(UTF) language for filling in details.
    // form6.jsp
    <%@ page language="java" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
    <%@ page import="java.util.*,java.text.*" %>
    <%@ page import="com.oreilly.servlet.*" %>

  • Multipart/form-data using HTTPService, sending a binary file and some text in the same request.

    Hi There,
             I am new to FLEX and also new to writing a client for a web service.
    My question is more about flex (Flash builder 4.5) APIs, what APIs to use.
    I want to access a web service, that's published here.
    https://build.phonegap.com/docs/write_api
    here is the description of webservice
    ===========
    1) I have to do a post on POST https://build.phonegap.com/api/v1/apps
    2) content type has to be "multipart/form-data"
    3) JSON bodies of requests are expected to have the name 'data'
      data will be someting like this
    'data={"title":"API V1 App","package":"com.alunny.apiv1","version":"0.1.0","create_method":"file"}'
    4) include a zip file in the multipart body of your post, with the parameter name 'file'.
    ===========
    I want to make a 'multipart/form-data' Post and send
    one string and one zip file.
    My first question to self was If i send both string + binary data in the body ...
    how will server understand where string end and where zip file starts?
    Then read on W3.org( http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.2 )
    How is text + binary data can be sent through "multipart/form-data" post requst.
    there has to be some boundries.
    After this I read and example in flex and  tried following it.
    http://codeio.wordpress.com/2010/04/03/5-minutes-on-adobe-flex-mimic-file-upload-for-in-me mory-contents/
    but it doesn't seems to be working for me.

                                  var service:HTTPService = new HTTPService();

                                  service.showBusyCursor = true;
                                  service.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, function(e:ResultEvent):void {
                                            //translate JSON
                                            trace(e.result);
                                            var result:String = e.result.toString();
                                            var data:Object = JSON.parse(result);

                        private function authAndUploadNewApp(service:HTTPService,appFile : File):void {
                                  var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();

                                  var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
                                  stream.open(appFile, FileMode.READ);
                                  var binaryData:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
                                  var fileData : String = new String();
                                  stream.readBytes(binaryData);
                                  stream.close();
                                  fileData = binaryData.readUTFBytes(binaryData.bytesAvailable); // I think this is where I have problem.... how do
                           //how do i converrt this bytearray/stream of data to string and send it in my post request's body - i guess if this step work rest should work..  
                                  var params: String = new String();
                                  var content:String = "—————————" + boundary + "nr";
                                  content += 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data";' + '{"title":"ELS test app 2","package":"com.elsapp.captivate","version":"12.3.09","create_method":"file"}' + "nr";
                                  content += "—————————" + boundary + "nr";
                                  content += 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file";' + fileData  + "nr";
                                  content += "—————————–" + boundary + "–nr";
                                  service.request = content;
                                  service.send();

    In the past I have used URLVariables with URLRequest and URLLoader to achieve this kind of requirement.
    Check out http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=17_Networking_and_communications_3 .html which should be useful. My preference has always been to use this style instead of HTTPService objects, giving you a little more control which is what you need here.
    Let me know if you need any more assistance.

  • How can I change the order of html form data submitted to me via email?

    I am having customers contact me via an html form posted on my website using the "sendtoemail" command. When I receive the data in an e-mail it  is not presented in the order it appears on the web page and I can't seem to find out what dictates the order the data is presented in or how I can change it.
    Anyone have any ideas on how I can make HTML form data elements appear in the order I want?
    Thanks,
    Andy
