As a suggestion:
If you know what Mozilla, IE and Mechanize are doing in this case, post
it so we can know where's the problem and maybe someone else could post
a patch or add a suggestion.
And please, nobody look at any RFC or W3C document.
We must do what IE and Mozilla are doing.
Where's the problem?
I've tested with this HTML:
<FORM METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME=hello>
<INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME=bye>
<INPUT TYPE="submit">
</FORM>
And this script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use WWW::Mechanize;
my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new();
my $res = $agent->get('http://127.0.0.1/~user/');
if ($res->is_success) {
if ($agent->form_number(1)) {
$agent->field('hello', 'hellotext');
$agent->field('bye', 'byetext');
my $res = $agent->submit();
}
}
Then I checked what was on the wire with ethereal and saw that Mozilla,
IE and Mechanize sent the same "hello=hellotext&bye=byetext".
So, Ed could you post the case that made Mechanize post wacky stuff?

As stated in the ticket, this bug can't be reproduced, and the bug
source, Ed, hasn't responded with reproducible test in over a year.
So, I've resolving this ticket due to un-reproducibility.
