Bad request (invalid verb)

[Wtower]

Hello,

I am facing a funny situation here. I changed all my forms and ScriptManagers EnableViewState property to false. I also changed all ajax event types to load. On my localhost all forms are working properly. When I deployed the project on a remote server, for any ajax event I kept getting Bad Request (Invalid Verb) on Firefox alone. Web.config is as should be. After a small search on Mozilla support forum, I came across an article suggesting to turn off all antivirus and firewall protection! Indeed this solved the issue. If I ever come to a final version, I am afraid I would not be able to have any customer do such a thing. And as much as I can see, in my humble opinion, I feel as Firefox being considerably faster JavaScript rather than IE. Any ideas here?

Hi Wtower,

hmmm. strange.


Can you provide any links to the mozilla articles for reference? Maybe there's a header being passed in the response that it does not like.


Which version of Firefox?

Hi Geoffrey,

Strange indeed. After several tests I discovered that this is an issue also for IE and has possibly to do with my antivirus software (ESET). I have sent a formal complain about the issue to the company and I am awaiting for their answer so I will keep you updated. Unfortunately, although the application's performance is drastically increased without viewstate, I will be forced to switch it back on since at least some of my users might have the same software as I do. Below are the links as asked.

Hi,

May be problem related with IIS. Which version IIS do you use?
Did you see it?

Hello,

IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 x64. Unfortunately this hotfix is for x86 or ia64 systems so I suppose I cannot test it.

Hello,

Another issue of disabled view state, for your information rather. When a grid with a large number of records is serialized and sent, I receive an error "Request-URI too long".

Regards,
Wtower

Hi,

Because by default the Load type using "GET" method, you need to use POST

grid.save({method:"POST"});
