I am developing a small embedded web server. I want to add parsing of post
requests, but I am having a problem with input password fields from Chrome. Firefox and IE work perfectly.
The HTML:
<form action=start.webem method=post>
<input value="START" type=submit /><!--#webem start -->
<p>Password: <input TYPE=PASSWORD name=yourname AUTOCOMPLETE=OFF /><br>
</form>
From Firefox I get
POST /stop.webem HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100315 Firefox/3.5.9 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

yourname=test
However from Chrome, about 90% of the time, the yourname=test is missing

Though, occasionally it does work!!!

I cannot find what causes it to work sometimes.
