Re: AW: Multi-select file chooser

[Frank W. Zammetti]

Again, I HIGHLY suggest grabing the sample webapp I posted last night. 
It should put this entire debate to rest.  You DO NOT have to use 
multipart/mixed to handle multiple files with one post.  This webapp 
clearly proves that.

I guess I can't say for sure that the browser isn't doing something that 
is against the RFCs, that could be the case, but it DOES work.

Yes, I can.  The limitation is that for every post or get, you can 
only have ONE multipart/mime file.  When you have multiple <file> 
elements you actually perform multiple posts to submit each one.    

I disagree. You can have any number of <input type="file"...> elements 
in a
web page. Any such page must be POSTed, and the <form...> element must
specify enctype="multipart/form-data". With this in place, a 
MIME-formatted
stream is sent to the server. That stream can contain any number of 
uploaded
files (one per <input type="file"...> element), and whatever other form
elements you want to put on the page. That's ONE post to the server. The
stream contains the name and contents of all the files and other form
elements, all nicely described with appropriate MIME headers.
 

Tim that top post is mis quoted, please feel free to go study the RFC's 
to find what is really going on here.  It was later stated that you need 
a multipart/mixed submit in order to handle multiple file uploads with 
one post so the above statement is correct.
