I had problems with my HTTP form posts working properly after implementing a htaccess script. The htaccess script basically redirects the non-www version of my website to the www version.

However this caused problems with HTML form postings that posted to the non-www version, as the form postings would just go missing – as if a blank form was posted.

The solution? Exclude form posts from the redirect:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^POST$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This is inefficient though, and if I wasn’t using an off-the-shelf application, I would code my forms and scripts to not POST to the non-www version of my domain. For example, forms should all post to www.example.com instead of example.com. This way, posts will not be redirected by the htaccess code.
