Firefox error on custom self-service page
Wed, 2007-05-09 16:57 — gsmith
We have a custom self-service page that works fine in IE but throws the following error when attempting to submit form variables using Firefox:
mod_plsql: /pls/pprd7/fwpapdd.p_wcc_bank_confirm_form HTTP-400 Invalid name
Does this look familiar to anyone?
I'm not being much help, but
No, never saw something like that :)
I do all of my ssb development testing with firefox, and I have not encountered such a thing. Here's something that is found in the Oracle App Server Portal Development guide:
HTTP-400. Bad Request/Malformed Host Header.
Cause: This situation can happen when the host name on the machine where
Oracle HTTP Server is running contains the underscore '_' character. Underscores
are not valid in URLs.
Action: Rename the host to something without an underscore or access the
machine by IP Address.
Not sure if you are running into some issue with underscores. I wouldn't think so, since I have underscores in my procedure names as well (but I usually only leave it at 1 underscore -- between the P and the procedure name). I guess I'd try their suggestion of accessing the system by IP first, if you can; if that doesn't work, then I'd try removing some (all?) underscores from the package name. If neither works, then perhaps you should take out some items from the form one by one and see if that is causing an issue. I don't suppose you have any check boxes on your form, do you? Seems like I had a problem with that once, but I don't recall what it was at this time.
Hope it works out for you. If you get it resolved, please let us know whaddup!
Name oversight
The problem was that one of the input fields didn't have a named value. IE ignored it but Firefox didn't.
Thanks.
