Hey!
John, I have experienced the same behavior with Lotus Domino Go Webserver
4.6.2.5.
I looked further in Jason Hunters MultipartRequest class and found:
He passes the Servlet Request in, does some parameter checking and
then reads the request. He makes sure that the contentType is
multipart/form-data and proceeds to peel off the boundary string.
This is where the exception is thrown. For some reason, that I don't
know, there is no boundary string in the content type.
I am using Netscape 4.05, Go, and Websphere 2.02 Advanced.
My HTML for looks like this:
<FORM ACTION="/servlet/UploadTest" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
What is your name? <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=submitter> <BR>
Which file do you want to upload? <INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME=file> <BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
What I don't understand where the responsibility to construct the
content type lies? The web browser, the webserver or the application container?
My guess is the web browser sees the multipart/form-data, sees the file and is
required to construct information to pass along to the webserver. The webserver
sees
the action equals a servlet and just dutifully pass it along to the application
container.
Wrong?
How can I intercept what the web browser is sending to the webserver? If I can
see
that then I can look for the boundary string. If the browser sent it correctly,
then
the webserver is not handling it correctly.
No?
I looked at the RFC 1867 spec. at
http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc1867.txt
This is all that I can figure.
Someone please help.
Thank you.
Sans adieu,
Danny Rubis
