RE: FLAW IN SERVLET SPECIFICATION IS THE REASON FOR LACK OF STANDARD SUPPORT FOR FILE UPLOAD

I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, however I wrote a multipart/form-data parser whos contructor is passed req.getInputStream() and it works fine under Tomcat. I use the service method of the HttpServlet class rather than doPost, I don't think that would make any difference.
