Anyone know?
I've looked around on the web, and it looks like I'm playing with
edge-of-the-world stuff and rather OS and browser dependent.
The source I'm working with:
http://reiisi.homedns.org/~joel/cs/ranbunhyou/withfile2.text
http://reiisi.homedns.org/~joel/cs/ranbunhyou/requester2.html
Both have shift-JIS mixed in, but everything in Japanese is duplicated
in English.
The form tag:
<form
action="http://reiisi.homedns.org/~joel/cs/ranbunhyou/cgi/withfile2";
method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data; charset="Shift_JIS"
accept-charset="Shift_JIS">
The charset in the enctype seems to make the textarea field work
intermittently, the accept-charset makes the textarea field work
reliably independent of the charset in the enctype. The charset
reported by the debug print always comes out ISO-8859-1 even when it
works, so I think that's a red-herring.
The test file that contains Japanese to show the problem is
Sample_questions.text. The linked file works fine, The contents of the
linked file pasted into the textarea works fine. It's just the file
upload that does not.
(The reason I'm using shift-jis is that the bulk of Japanese documents
remain in shift-jis, and most people operate by default in the encoding
that the bulk of their files are stored in.)
My partial explanation of what the code is doing is at
http://reiisi.homedns.org/~joel/cs/ranbunhyou/
(And, yeah, I know I'm using some archaic techniques. It's what I know
or can find in my old references, and/or what I hope will run with
modules in the standard distribution. Criticism welcome.)
