Thanks. Good point. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Rabe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 11:03 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Seeking multipart-form advise
When using multipart/form-data, the data that's posted from the browser up to the webapp WILL be larger. It might even be larger by a significant percentage (2x? 5x? 10x?). In my opinion, however, I don't think sending 200 bytes instead of 20 bytes will be "significant". If you want to see exactly what the differences are, hook up a network monitor and watch the post. There is also additional processing required on the server to parse the multipart data, but again, it's not what I would consider "significant". --DanR -----Original Message----- From: Gary VanMatre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 10:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Seeking multipart-form advise We are working on an application that has several pages that require file upload capabilities. Currently, our main tiles layout contains our html form tag and we are considering adding the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute to the form tag in our main layout but we are uncertain as to the overhead/cost of doing this. Is there a significant cost associated with making all forms multipart in your web application? Any experiences or insights would be greatly appreciated.
