Just to re-iterate a previous post. Here is what I have done thusfar.
My httpd.conf file:
#
# **********************
# ** MOD PERL CHANGES **
# **********************
# limit POSTS so that they get processed properly
<Limit POST>
PerlInitHandler POST2GET
</Limit>
# force reloading of modules on restart
PerlFreshRestart on
# Perl module primitive mother load on start/restart
#PerlRequire lib/perl/startup.pl
# FLOE application (mod_perl)
PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlModule floeApp
<Location /floeApp>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler floeApp
PerlSendHeader On
</Location>
And the relevant two snippets of code from the script are:
## process incoming
# if submitted
my %hash = undef;
my $initialList = $q->param('initialList') || '';
my $upload = $q->upload || undef;
my $fh = $upload->fh if defined($upload);
if (defined($upload) && $upload) {
$initialList = '';
while (<$fh>) {
$initialList .= $_;
}
}
## some processing is done to the POST'ed data
## and eventually. . .
## send file to client
print "Content-type: text/plain\n";
print "Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=list.txt\n\n";
foreach my $value (sort keys %$hash) {
chomp($value);
next unless ($value);
print "$hash->{$value}$CRLF$value$CRLF";
}
exit;
$q is the Apache::Request object. When running in CGI mode it is simply
pointing toward the CGI.pm object.
I did not mean to presume Apache was doing anything to anything.
Apache::Request does not seem to appear to support/handle multipart in my
present config. I do not know why. All I have changed in my code is to use
Apache::Request instead of CGI. Otherwise, the scripts are untouched.
Same machine, same httpd.conf other the mod_perl changes, same scripts. . .
.then why cannot I not see anything being passed via multipart/form-data
encoding?

: multipart/form-data, even without a file upload...
