http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30061 [PATCH] Workaround for IE5 Mac type=image bug Summary: [PATCH] Workaround for IE5 Mac type=image bug Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: File Upload AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentlehackers, Much to our dismay, and we're sure shortly to yours, we have found a bug in IE 5 for Mac where it is (shockingly) not conformant to the multipart/form-data specification. Our first reaction was whether we could just forget about IE5 for the Mac, but we are told it is the best browser for Mac OS 9, which is still dear to the hearts of our target audience. Our second reaction .... well let's suffice it to say we cooked up several plans and it seemed like working around the bug in the File Upload code could actually be done simply without harming anything else. The bug is that the carriage return is missing on any boundary line immediately preceding an input with type=image. (type=submit does not have the bug.) Because the boundary delimiter, not including the trailing CRLF, must not appear within any file (RFC 2046, section 5.1.1), we know the missing CR is due to a buggy browser rather than a file containing something similar to a boundary. This case had previously always been throwing an exception, so our patch does not interfere with any previously-working situation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
