Just to make sure I'm asking what I'm trying to ask, consider the following HTML
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="uploadedfiles" />
<input type="file" name="uploadedfiles" />
<input type="submit" />
</form
This is bad markup, yes, but it's only to demonstrate the content of
the POST request that Dojo's mutli uploader creates.
My question is, how do I access the files from this POST request?
web.input(uploadedfile={}) will only give me the last file
web.input(uploadedfile=[]) will only give me a list of strings from the files
I'm stumped, so any help is appreciated.
