  • query url changes to "search.cgi?zoom%255Fquery="

    hello,
    i observe my url changes after i hit enter, im using flash search box and this works be4 i move servers (or maybe with older zoom build?) im using two swf boxes for example this one: http://olca.biz/calle-alcolea.htm searches ok.
    but one on results page (http://olca.biz/cgi-bin/search.cgi) changes url to: http://olca.biz/cgi-bin/search.cgi?zoom%255Fquery=albacete
    please help me to find out why it happens.

    thank you very much for your help in advance

    See this previous forum thread.

    The CGI should be picking up the value nonetheless. And you should notice that on the page where it is working - the URL is also "zoom%255Fquery". So this isn't the problem.

    The problem is the SWF search form you are using is relying on a relative path to the CGI. It expects to be on a page which is one level up from the "cgi-bin" folder. So when you click on the search button on the results page, it went to: "http://olca.biz/cgi-bin/cgi-bin/search.cgi?zoom%5Fquery=blah"

    You need to change your SWF to use an absolute path, or something like "/cgi-bin/search.cgi"
