Birt Web Report Viewer 2.2.2 Bug? Using a form to post to the viewer

Monma

I am convinced that I have run into a bug when posting to the report viewer from a form like the one below. For the same form if I change the method to a get the viewer pulls the report fine. As soon as I use a post it hangs. The problem is that I cannot move to 2.3.2 or 2.5.1 because we use JDK 1.4.x due to large legacy software. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get around this. I also cannot use get for several reasons.

Thanks.

I have a form such as:
<form id="foo" action="/WebViewer/preview" method="post" target="_self">
<input type="hidden" name="__report" value="/myreportdir/report1.rptdesign">
<input type="hidden" name="__format" value="html">
<input type="hidden" name="pTime" value="2010-02-12">
</form>

After further investigation I am finding that the issue is due to the fact that I have a script that runs at the initialize event for the page. When I do a get this script runs fine but when I do a post the following error is generated. If anyone can suggest a way around this I would really appreciate it.
