db.srcfile.insert(
name=db.srcfile.name.store(
request.vars.name.file,request.vars.name.filename),
)

Problem is, file gets uploaded into
no_table.name/a2/
no_table.name.a24060930d31d0c1.313234363931322e747874.txt
prior to the insert. After the insert, there is a folder
srcfile.name/b1/srcfile.name.b192a5e35dc5081e.
313234363931322e747874.txt
except that the file is empty.
Question: is this a bug, or do I need to explicitly copy from the
source to the destination? If the latter, what would the rationale be
for creating the destination file without copying the contents from
the source?
