I believe this problem is with IIS configuration as I just set us up with Win2k server.

When I create a file called index.html with the following contents:
<form action=index.html method=POST>
<input type=submit></form>

It generates a 404 error when Submit Query is clicked.

When I create a file called index.html with these contents:
<form action=index.html method=GET>
<input type=submit></form>

It works fine.

Is there some way to turn off form POST in IIS? One of my coworkers did use the IIS lockdown tool.

Thanks!

 
The IIS Lockdown tool generates too many problems and the way i c it.. the costs weight more than the benefits. To ensure that the problem is related to whatever lockdown did, run it again and have it reverse all the settings it changed. If it works then don't run lockdown again but configure the settings urself (i perfer to do it this way cuz then I'd know what's been changed). Good Luck.
