Well this is just odd.
When Firefox, Chrome and IE6 submit files-to-upload, the structure returned
by $c->req->uploads is DIFFERENT for explorer -- it's an ARRAYREF instead of
a HASHREF:
DB<2> x $c->req->uploads
*0 HASH(0x9d04d20)*
'*newatt[1]*' => Catalyst::Request::Upload=HASH(0xb81a098)
'filename' => 'japh.pl'
'headers' => HTTP::Headers=HASH(0xb448c28)
'content-disposition' => 'form-data; name="newatt[1]"; filename="
japh.pl"'
'content-type' => 'text/x-perl-script'
'size' => 104
'tempname' => '/tmp/6V0Vlas5td'
'type' => 'text/x-perl-script'
'*newatt[2]*' => Catalyst::Request::Upload=HASH(0xb448c88)
'filename' => 'TODO'
'headers' => HTTP::Headers=HASH(0xb650140)
'content-disposition' => 'form-data; name="newatt[3]";
filename="TODO"'
'content-type' => 'application/octet-stream'
'size' => 29
'tempname' => '/tmp/2RTgotIgut'
'type' => 'application/octet-stream'
The same attempted upload for Explorer 8 looks like this instead:
*0 ARRAY(0xab06360)*
* 0* Catalyst::Request::Upload=HASH(0xb448c88)
'filename' => 'japh.pl'
'headers' => HTTP::Headers=HASH(0xb81a098)
'content-disposition' => 'form-data; name="newatt[1]"; filename="
japh.pl"'
'content-type' => 'text/x-perl-script'
'size' => 104
'tempname' => '/tmp/3Tg94Iq85j'
'type' => 'text/x-perl-script'
*1* Catalyst::Request::Upload=HASH(0xb448c28)
'filename' => 'TODO'
'headers' => HTTP::Headers=HASH(0xb448c88)
'content-disposition' => 'form-data; name="newatt[3]";
filename="TODO"'
'content-type' => 'application/octet-stream'
'size' => 29
'tempname' => '/tmp/T2r9F7Ex11'
'type' => 'application/octet-stream'
The structure of each node is the same, but as a whole the upload-list
switches internally from a HASHREF to an ARRAYREF. IE6, FireFox, Chrome all
bring in the Hashref, but IE8 brings in an Arrayref.
On top of that, if there's just one upload, it's not even an array, it's
just the node itself.
What the heck? Sure seems odd to offer a different storage structure based
on browser-platform...
