 Status: Pending => Rejected

You cannot perform a GET request with a form where you also have a query string in the URL. Most browsers construct a new query string from the form and replace any in the URL, however this behavior may not be consistent. AFAIK a POST request will also fail since the query string on the URL is ignored in a POST, and many browsers actively strip it.

Regardless, this is not a server bug. To pass additional values, use hidden fields on the form instead of a query string in the action.

When a page receives arguments both from a form and supplied in the URL, the ones in the URL are quietly ignored, which is unexpected behavior.

I'd like to see them merged into REQUEST.form, -or- the behavior documented so others aren't confused.

 <FORM ACTION="bugtest?urlvar=456">
   <INPUT TYPE=STRING NAME="InputVar1" VALUE="123">
   <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="submitbutton" VALUE="GO">
 </FORM>

(hmmm, could this be a *browser* bug? how could we tell?)
