If you meant about the prefixing : the link Martin Cooper provided is probably as close as it's
going to get (main link from commons page/Support/Maling Lists and then the first text you can read :).
If it is about the mozilla/ie question : There is a FAQ on the wiki page :
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/FileUpload where you can add it and you are also welcomed to
send a patch to get this information on the fileupload website.

First of all, please respect the conventions of this mailing list, and
prefix your subject with the name of the relevant component in square

Good Morning,
It looks like the fileupload classes parse (or maybe
should) the request
a little bit differently depending if IE or Firefox is used.
I use the following code:
List /* FileItem */items = upload.parseRequest( request ) ;
Iterator iter = items.iterator() ;
*while* ( iter.hasNext() ) {
FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next() ;
...
}
When the item object is a file the method item.getName()
returns just
the file's name (ex: fooBar.gif) whereas with IE it returns the full
path of where the file was on the client side (ex:
c:\foo\bar\fooBar.gif).
FileUpload is returning to you what the browser sent to the
server. IE sends
the full path; most other browsers send only the file name,
for security
reasons.
That might be an IE bug but do you think that the fileupload component
should be changed so that the method getName() always
returns the same
information regardless of the browser used?
FileUpload's job is simply to parse the data sent to the
server, not to
interpret it in any way. You might want only the file name,
but someone else
might want the full path. That's a decision that can only be
made for a
specific application, so it's not something FileUpload should
be doing.
