Hi All,

I have a page with a form where I upload a file. So the form's encoding is multipart/form-data. Then on the browser side, I have some javascript that programmatically adds '?fooID=anID' to the form's URL set in its action attribute.

I was expecting to see fooID in the request's form values but it's nowhere in there. I can see it in the request's URI though. Is this a bug or is this the way multipart/form-data submits work?

My guess is that the form is using post instead of get. I think this is required for uploading since the data could be larger than the URI could hold. So in this case, the URI would not be considered part of the form's data.

At least I think that's pretty much what's going on. I haven't delved into the details of form uploads in some time.

HTH,
Kevin
