[web2py] Re: Upload field with clear text filename

[Alan Etkin]

My bad:

Assigning to a form.vars item before calling to .process() works

The issue is that the first code posted by Joe tests for the boolean value 
of form.vars.upload (an instance of the file storage object) and that 
object always evaluates to False, so:

if request.vars.update:
    <assign to form.var item>

is omitted.
