Various edit requests get "black-holed"

[thomasgraupner]

I've got a couple of problems with editing events and maps:

=== Problem 1 ===

If a user running Internet Explorer tries to edit an event or a map, they get an error page with a message like the following when they click the Save button:

    The request has been black-holed
    Error: The requested address '/events/edit/819' was not found on this server.

The error happens regardless of whether any fields were changed.

This is a problem to me because I'm trying to get club members to be responsible for editing their own event pages. I don't want my instructions to begin with "First of all, don't use Internet Explorer..."

=== Problem 2 ===

If a user running Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome (or probably any other browser) tries to change the location of a map, their request gets black-holed.

This is a problem because I can't seem to change map locations - at all.

With Firefox and Chrome, the error occurs only if the map location marker is dragged. Using Wireshark, I can see that the edit requests for saving a map with and without dragging the marker are the same, except for the latitude and longitude fields sent back. If the coordinates are unchanged, I get an HTTP 302 (Found) response redirecting to the view page. If they are different, I get an HTTP 400 (Bad Request) response containing the "black-holed" error page.

I think problem 2 is pretty basic, because it looks like the following test in MapsController.php is failing:

136: if ($this->Map->save($this->data)) {
137: $this->Session->setFlash('The map has been updated.', "flash_success");

I haven't investigated problem 1 to any length yet.

If I remember correctly, both of these problems started a number of weeks/months ago, but not necessarily at the same time.

Sorry, I posted my issue in the wrong repository again.
