How to fix problem with .php in TX's Blazer 4.3

[loobick]

When I started to create my website for mobile device I found problem with Blazer 4.3 which is present in Palm TX. When you create link to address which ends with .php (example: http://www.example.com/index.php) and user of Blazer 4.3 use this link, Blazer will not show it, just try to save it as file to memory card. After user reload page, it works good and everything looks normal.

And how to fix it? It's not good solution. Instead of "http://www.example.com/index.php" use "http://www.example.com/index.php?".

I hope it will help someone.

Hmm thats an interesting one, thanks for the tip, loobick !

What does it do when you send it to www.treonauts.com and then to www.treonauts.com/index.php ? Obviously the page will be all messed up but does it try to save the page in both cases?

Problem occures when .php is on end of requested address.

Example:
no problem - http://www.treonauts.com
no problem - http://ww.treonauts.com/
PROBLEM - http://www.treonauts.com/index.php
no problem - http://www.treonauts.com/index.php?

There is problem strictly when you request something with .php and you (as developer) have only one solution - add something, what will not change address of requested page, after .php. And my own solution is to add ? after .php, because it will not change anything and then it works correctly.

You will see www.treonauts.com as page and www.treonauts.com/index.php will try to save as file.

Gotcha... sounds like a doctype error at Blazer's end... I'll bear in mind when embarking on a mobile friendly version...

Thanks for the tip
