hi Sluggers,
Please excuse the perl question but Iam at my wits end.
I have written a CGI file_upload script that works fine with a
UNIX web browser.
When I go to use a Gates-based browser like netscape or IE,
it uploads the file OK, but it's Zero-Length.
I have done all the path clearing stuff to make sure just the
correct name of the file is uploaded.
In my upload code I make sure I do a binmode() on the filehandle
for the windoze stuff to work properly.
My code snippet looks like
open (SAVE, ">/path/to/save_dir/$file");
binmode (SAVE);
while (read ($file,$data,1024)){
print SAVE $data;
}
close SAVE;
chmod (/path/to/save_dir/$file, 0644);
Now all this works fine when I use a UNIX browser but
fails to work with a Windoze one. The file gets uploaded but is
empty!
I can see the data being written to /var/tmp/CGItemp12334
and then the temp file is removed.
Has anyone else seen this problem with upload CGI scripts
based on CGI.pm?
Can anyone help me with a solution?
I di see this once about 2 years ago but I do not recall
how the problem was resolved.
If anyone can help me, I'd be very grateful!
