Howdy,
Another issue came up comparing TC4 and TC5:
using the oreilly multipart lib on TC5 causes the error "...Corrupt form data: premature ending" on POST uploads.
As stated in the FAQ's at http://www.servlets.com/cos/faq.html this problem is merely due to the webcontainer and has been fixed with Tomcat 4.
Umm, you misread that section of the FAQ. It states that there are many possible causes for this bug. A small subcase (IE, client hitting stop then starting again, leading to empty input stream) was isolated and fixed in a couple of containers (tomcat 4.0 and weblogic 6.1 according to the FAQ).
I tested and can state that this problem doesn't occur with TC4. But it is apparent with TC5 again. Will this be fixed ?
If you provide a concise description along with a test case or steps to reproduce your problems, there's a chance it might be fixed.
There has been enough testing for uploading (with the standalone connector, at least, but there's no difference with JK for this), that I can confidently say that there's very little likelihood of a Tomcat bug in this area.
Maybe if the thing uses readLine on the Tomcat provided reader (a rather annoying method to implement, so maybe there could be a bug), but in the unlikely case it does, I recommend dumping that library in favor of commons-fileupload (readLine is by definition awful performance wise).
