i printed out request length and it's -1 (called the getContentLength method on 
the ActionRequest object)
 
as u probably guessed, my app does no control the request object, simply uses 
it when passed in when the portal calls the processAction() method in my portlet
 
not sure what the portal does with the request object beforehand

That depends. If the request does not include a content length header, then
FileUpload is working correctly. It cannot handle multipart requests unless
the content length is specified. There is an existing enhancement request to
add support for this case. However, this seldom comes up with browser
clients.

If the request _does_ include a content length header, then there might be
an issue. You should also ensure that the request has not already been
parsed by some other code before it reaches your code.
