Hi, I have a cgicc application and the user submits a POST request which does a write to a database and on successful completion a status page is displayed. If a user now clicks on the Refresh button on their browser they get the following message - The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information. Click Retry. If they do the information is resent and a duplicate now appears in the database. Is there any around this to avoid creating duplicates? To make the status page appear that it was obtained by a GET request, for example? So that Refresh requests will only redisplay that page. Because users do need to refresh the status page. TIA Quintin
