Login trims off the get string

Hi,


I have a page with get string so it looks like 

    http://www.mysite.com/my_page?get=hello


This page is behind a login. But after the user logs in the get string disappears, and URL becomes 
    http://www.mysite.com/my_page


How can I have the get string remain?

can't replicate in local system.


When you see the login form, check html source, does the form action have the get var?


maybe it's login design's problem?

Hi Edison,


The login redirects me to https (we use encrypted login), the get string is not in action URL

Unfortunately, I don't have enough information to investigate.
You have to tell me why does redirects occur. It seems like the redirects just strips off the GET vars.

It is probably just implementation oversight.

Hi Edison,
The site 

    http://www.mysite.com/
uses secure login.

The user hits 
    http://www.mysite.com/my_page?get=hello
, then the login window pops up. The login window's URL is 
    https://www.mysite.com/my_page
. After login, the user is brought back to 
    http://www.mysite.com/my_page
but 
    get=hello
is gone.

Don't think it is Matrix doing the redirect. Probably it's Apache or something else is doing the redirect and stripping off the get Var.
You probably have to get sysadmin to have a look.
