Re: AOL browsers.

One problem I know of with Netscape is that of nulls being appended to
strings.

AOL has used several different engines for their browsers.  The exact one
that is causing the problem would be helpful.  Is the information be
encrypted?  What code are you using to parse through the query string?  Have
you tried sending the information to a file and then using a hex editor to
look for any leading/trailing nonprintable characters?

This server side script would be handy to have for troubleshooting:
