Hi Steve,

I have had the same issue when posting MIME encoded forms to tango/witango from Opera. 
The string you are noticing in the debug (------------0xKhTmLbOuNdArY etc) is the MIME 
part separator. It is declared in the MIME header, then used to separate the multiple 
'parts' of the MIME encoded post. Its presence in the debug seems to indicate that 
Witango is failing to parse the MIME encoded post. I have not been able to resolve 
this issue, but I have compared IE and Opera posts char for char, and I suspect that 
the cause is some quirk in the syntax or declaration of the MIME separator by Opera, 
and now Safari, causing indigestion by Witango. 

So who should fix it? The fact that Safari causes the same problem, or at least the 
same symptom, seems to point the bone back at Witango. I submitted the issue both to 
Opera and With inc. as part of v 5 beta testing, but niether chose to bite. I would 
say Opera's new status as 'the second browser' should raise the priority, but I'm not 
holding breath.

Good luck, as they say in Dublin.
Simon

Subject: Witango-Talk: OT: File Uploads with Safari


I have an application that allows a user to submit an import file for processing. It 
has been running without problems under various browsers but recently I tried it with 
the released version of Safari (1.0 v85). The response I received was a "Could not 
open the specified file". 


When I examine the Application File portion of the debug, I see the following: 


START /adm/importinventory.taf Tango_2000_Server 
_function=uploadfile&_UserReference=D7FDB24AAE18AE193F2FE23F 
------------0xKhTmLbOuNdArY Content-Disposition: form-data; name="SAVEAS" 
------------0xKhTmLbOuNdArY Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fupload"; 
filename=�*��P Total Length of Postargs: 4417 


When I look at the debug from IE (on the Mac) which works properly, I get a slightly 
different content for the Application File portion of the debug: 

START /adm/importinventory.taf Tango_2000_Server 
_function=uploadfile&_UserReference=DC7355EE5B35C6DA3F2FE3D0 
fupload="241031","1277","1265" "001909","820","809" "94354","198","188" 
"001666","4056","4046" "24104X",� ��P SAVEAS=3000-inventory export0728.csv Total 
Length of Postargs: 4523 


I'm curious if anyone else has experienced problems like this with Safari and if so, 
how did they resolve them. I've tested this under Witango 5.0.1.062 and I get the same 
results so I'm pretty sure that this is a Safari thing. 


Any ideas? 


Please let me know. 


Thanks, 


Steve Smith
