Submit to HttpHandler results in RequestType GET instead of POST

Question

My ActionHandler.ashx file should be POSTed yet upon entry to ProcessRequest the context.Request.RequestType is always \"GET\".

Background: This HttpHa

Answer 1

The short answer to this problem is that Thunderbird does not POST to the URL in the Action attribute of the HTML form tag. Even the newest version of Thunderbird (version 31.2.0) "ignores" the POST and requests the URL via GET.

The construction of the HTML form is properly done and other email clients I have tested work fine:

• Microsoft Office 365 Outlook Web App
• Google GMail

So, I guess I am doing it "right" but some email clients apparently don't support this (even my favorite which is Thunderbird).
