You mean that IE5 would *change* the boundary they use? What exactly
was the change (before vs after)? You say below it changed hex values.
This sounds painfully non-spec-compliant.

Are you saying that the variable contains all three lines above, with
\r\n's and everything? I can't see how that would happen.

Does this happen with every file upload you try? For example, does it
happen when you send just parameters (use multipart/form-data but don't
have any "file" parameters), when you send simple files, and so on?
I've not heard reports about IE4 doing anything like this before so I'm
wondering what's different about your situation.
What server are you using? WebSphere 2.02 has caused a lot of people
problems by returning inaccurate headers. Might that be what you're
using? WS 3.0 appears better.
