Macintosh Viewstate Errors

The public site I maintain is gathering the following 500 error:

"The viewstate is invalid for this page and might be corrupted"

Strangely enough, the only users seeing this error are Macintosh users,
using IE. The problem is not isloated to a single page, it seems to be
happening on any page, but not necessarily every page for that user. In some
cases it is clear that the user was getting around fine (they were logged in
as members to the site), and later the problem occurred.

I cannot find anything on the web except a solitary Usenet post of a person
describing the exact same problem, but no reply.

Here are the agent strings of the browsers recorded when the error occurred:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Mac_PowerPC)
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.17; Mac_PowerPC)
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.15; Mac_PowerPC)
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.16; Mac_PowerPC)
According to the log files, MacPPC users are just under 1% of the site
users, so this problem is clearly not a showstopper, but I hate for any
users to have a problem.

Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.

Dave

Greetings, I'm hoping someone has experienced a problem I'm having: I have an existing ASP application (working fine) that uses an SSL server certificate. My user community is made up of both PC's and Macintosh computers. I've re-written this application in ASP.NET for a number of reasons and now find that my Mac users are having problems with the application. SSL works just fine for PC

I have an ASP application that works fine locally but when it's uploaded occasionally, I get viewstate errors. Another thing is that the viewstate for that page is disabled. There are cases where I can just refresh the page and it goes through ok <%@ Page Language="VB" EnableViewState="false" Debug="true" % The worker threads are set to one, however, it is running on a dual processor web server.

We have managed to lock down 99% of the application errors occurring in our asp.net sites. The only errors which occur on a regular basis now are viewstate errors. We have disabled viewstate on the majority of pages but kept them where absolutely necessary, such as shopping carts, adding items, etc. Also we've made sure the following have been met: EnableViewStateMac = false Disabled viewstate on all controls which are unnecessary...

I get sporadic viewstate errors from Macintosh browsers. I get mailed the form values when this happens, and it appears that the problem is the encoding of the POST value from the browser. Something like: __EVENTTARGET=&__EVENTARGUMENT=&__VIEWSTATE=dDwxOTk2NDc2Nzk0OztsPFQ<more stuff cut out>hM%3d&T%3aH%3aR%3aAToken=&T%3aH.... As you may see, the arguments after viewstate are just a mess. The browser seems to be escaping stuff it...

Hello, I have a page with two link buttons. When I click on the first one I call server.execute("target.aspx") to view target.aspx on the original page. Then I click on the second link button and in this case I redirect to another page, HOWEVER, I get Invalid ViewState exception. I know the problem stems from server.execute but don't know why. Any Ideas? Thank you.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
