I'm a bit muddleheaded this morning.
Do the RFC's allow POSTing binary data using a content type of anything but
multipart/form-data? Looking at RFC 2616 at the moment, I see nothing that
makes the answer clear.
If ns_getform sees something that is not multipart/form-data, it collects
using ns_conn form. It seems that ns_conn form calls
conn.c/ns_conngetquery which begets ns_querytoset which begets
Ns_DecodeUrlCharset which looks for a NULL to determine the end of a string.
So it appears that form.tcl/ns_getform (and hence AOLserver) requires
binary data to be sent as multipart/formdata, but I am curious about the
RFCs. There appear to be certain applications that post binary data using
other content types, are those applications broken, or is it AOLserver itself?
Thanks,
Jerry
