Netscape 4 prints "missing post data" error instead of report
Date: September 27, 2002
Version affected: v1.60, Netscape 4.x
NOTE: This patch may affect the behavior of custom web reports. Please read instructions carefully before applying.
Symptoms:
When attempting to print web-based reports from Netscape 4 the error message missing post data is printed instead of the report.
Correction:
The report selection menu has been modified to submit the report request using "GET" instead of "POST". NOTE: If you have custom web-based reports you may need to modify them after this patch is applied. See "Custom Report Changes" below.

After unzipping the patch file to a temporary directory, copy the asp files to the asp directory of your WBT Manager web installation and the xsl files to the html/xsl directory.
It is not necessary to re-start the web-server.
Custom Report Changes
Because this patch changes the method of the form that posts selection criteria to the report scripts, custom reports based on the standard reports may need to be modified.
Change any references to Request.Form to use Request.QueryString instead. For example:
nDeptID=Trim(Request.Form("WBTM_DepartmentID"))
Would become:
nDeptID=Trim(Request.QueryString("WBTM_DepartmentID"))
