Odd that you say there was no answer, when the ensuing apreq-dev@ discussion (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108146010300004&r=1&w=2) 1) researched the issue and determined the cause, tracing it back to a similar report on February 6, 2002 (from you!) regarding Mozilla 0.97: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl&m=101295988431701&q=raw 2) determined that the missing CRLF from Konqueror is still RFC-compliant: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apreq-dev&m=108184431529065&w=2 3) resulted in a patch to httpd-apreq-2 cvs over the weekend: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apreq-cvs&m=108225244312182&w=2 There is no patch available for httpd-apreq (libapreq-1), because nobody (myself included) has volunteered one yet. It may wind up simply being documented as a bug if nobody fixes it before the next release of httpd-apreq. I'll answer your email directly below, in the hopes of clearing this up for you so some motivated person might patch httpd-apreq.

That does not violate RFC 2046, however it breaks httpd-apreq's mfd parser (probably CGI.pm's also) because the parser assumes that CRLF will be there. This is the reason why the subsequent "Submit" button is missing from the params: the parser interpreted its block as being the upload file's contents. The missing CRLF causes the parser to skip over the boundary string separating the (empty) file block from the "Submit" button's block. -- Joe Schaefer -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
