returnToCapturedView fails if captureCurrentView was called on a POST request from IE with long params ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-4217 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4217 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.1.2.CR2 Environment: Java 6, Tomcat 6, Internet Explorer 7 Reporter: Matthew Lieder Fix For: 2.2.0.CR1 If a POST request is made to a Seam page that requires authentication, the redirect after authentication fails with an IE "Unable to display page" error if the POST request's parameters combined add up to >2000 characters, approximately. The root of the problem is that when Seam redirects afterwards, it builds a GET URL and does a standard 301 redirect to it, which fails in IE if the URL is >2083 characters. The solution would seem to be either to replace the 301 redirect with another POST request, or to not include the parameters in the URL and instead reconstitute them upon render of the page that's being redirected to. This bug was triggered by the fix for JBSEAM-4066.
