FIX: Internet Explorer Error When Posting to an ASP Page That Initiates RedirectsArticle ID: 175318 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q175318 SYMPTOMS
The following Internet Explorer error occurs when POSTing a form to an
Active Server Pages (.asp) file that initiates multiple
"response.redirect."
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://<your">http://<yourserver>/<your Web>/<your asp file>The requested item could not be found.
CAUSE
The conditions that cause this error to occur are as follows:
RESOLUTION
The correct solution is to re-design the Web application so that a redirect
is not issued when a HTM forms submits a POST.
STATUSThis bug was corrected in Windows 2000. MORE INFORMATION

(http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1945/rfc1945)
9.3 Redirection 3xx
Internet Explorer incorrectly handles the situation described above in that
it erroneously changes it into a GET request when it should fail or prompt
the user to confirm the redirect.
302 Moved Temporarily If the 302 status code is received in response to a request using the POST method, the user agent must not automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued. NOTE: When automatically redirecting a POST request after receiving a 302 status code, some existing user agents will erroneously change it into a GET request. REFERENCES
