Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
In Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 or in IIS 7.5, you have a webpage in an application that accepts a POST request and then redirects to a different webpage.
-
You enable output caching on the application, and the cache is built up after you send GET requests to the webpage together with parameters.
-
A POST request is sent to the webpage.
In this scenario, the webpage is not redirected as expected.
For example, you build a default.aspx webpage that contains a button. The webpage contains the following code under the Button click event.
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("./hello.aspx", false);
}
When a request accesses the default.aspx webpage and then the button is clicked, a POST request is submitted. HTTP code 302 is logged, and the webpage is redirected successfully to the hello.aspx webpage.
In this example, the IIS log contains an entry that resembles the following for the POST request:
#Fields: datetime s-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query s-port cs-username c-ip cs(User-Agent) sc-status sc-substatus sc-win32-status time-taken
datetime ::1 POST /folder_name/default.aspx id=1 80 - ::1 Mozilla/5.0+(compatible;+MSIE+9.0;+Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+Trident/5.0) 302 0 0 6
However, if lots of GET requests access the default.aspx?id=1 webpage and the IIS cache is built up, you are not redirected to the hello.aspx webpage when you click the button on the default.aspx webpage. Instead, an HTTP code 200 is logged in the IIS log. The STTP code 200 resembles the following:
#Fields: datetime s-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query s-port cs-username c-ip cs(User-Agent) sc-status sc-substatus sc-win32-status time-taken
datetime ::1 POST /folder_name/default.aspx id=1 80 - ::1 Mozilla/5.0+(compatible;+MSIE+9.0;+Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+Trident/5.0) 200 0 0 6
Cause
This problem occurs because the POST request is served incorrectly from the IIS cache that is built up by the GET requests.

Service Pack 1 is integrated into the original release version of Windows Server 2008. Therefore, RTM milestone files apply only to Windows Vista. RTM milestone files have a 6.0.0000.xxxxxx version number.
-
GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 and for Windows Vista" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
