Topic: problem with httpd and forms

The content of this topic has been archived on 18 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

wondered if anyone had any suggestions on this.

working on the web interface, and have come across a problem with forms that i can't solve.  i have a form that, when i hit submit, hangs the browser/webserver.  running ps shows that pushing submit caused a new "httpd" process to spawn, if i kill that process the form will go through.

oddly, if i reduce the number of input elements in the form to six or less it works fine, and this is true regardless of which input elements i eliminate.

i don't think it has anything to do with the script being called because (a) it never gets to it and (b) i tried it using a script that would do nothing more than echo the word "done" and still no luck.

here's the form causing the trouble.  i'm totally stumped on this and would appreciate any help.

problem was a busybox bug (that's fixed in later version).  thanks mbm.

The discussion might have continued from here.
