Hi Jason, It is a bug, the file upload feature with FireFox behaves differently than under IE. My colleague Stacy Young discovered this a month or so ago and submitted and bug and many enhancement requests regarding file upload. I think this is an area that needs improvement.
I'm not quite sure of the top of my head what Stacy did to resolve this problem, but I'll make sure he replies on Monday with any suggestions.

Does anyone have an answer for this? It seems that the Flex app within Firefox will maintain one session for an Upload request and a different session for a get request back to the server. Within the same application you can do multiple posts/gets and uploads and it keeps the same session, but a different one for posts/gets and uploads. It is as if the browser has two session going on. The bad thing here is that it practically makes an upload application useless if a person has logged in via the web site. When they do an upload, the web site will not recognize the sessionid as logged in and it will not work. Also, adding a session id like jsessionid to the URL of the upload most likely will not work if the server thinks the browser is accepting cookies, which it is. Any ideas here? If this is a bug that can't be worked around, it is a real problem for us. We can't make our users only use Internet Explorer.

I'm using a cookie to maintain a session (it contains a session_id) and when I upload the file, it is behaving strangely using Flash player 9. In Internet Explorer 6.0, a new session will be created, meaning that the cookie wasn't passed with the POST and this session will be used for future GET requests. In Mozilla Firefox 1.5, a new session will be created that will be used for future file uploads, but the GET requests will use the old session still, so it looks like two client cookies are being maintained. Any help or tips to get around this problem would be greatly appreciated, I'm using ruby on rails on the server side so cookies are my preferred option for maintaining session state - passing it as a URL parameter is a little messy. thanks, Richard.
