How would that get around the bug of witango not being able to parse
the multipart form, and therefore not being able to receive the file?
Am I missing something?

Our work-around (not as user friendly, but we trained our clients!)
was:
Include a normal text input field for the NAME of the file.
This is in
addition to the file input field:
<p>
Download File:<input type="file" accept="*/*"
name="Doc" />
</p>
<p>
(for browser compatibility): enter the NAME of the
Download
document: <input type="text" name="DocName" />
</p>
The WRITE action used the "DocName" for the "File:" parameter and
the "Doc"
for the "Data to write:" parameter.
Worked x-plat and all browsers (that we know about).
I told my clients to copy the name of the file before going to the
form. The
Browse button (next to the file input) will find the file just
fine. They
then _pasted_ the name into the other field and submit.

I remembered a workaround for this without upgrading witango, or IIS
or anything. One of the nice things about windows 2003 and IIS 6, is
you have ASP .NET serving built in for free, and it does not suffer
from this problem. We have done this in the past to get around a bug
in witango, or lack of a feature we have needed.
You keep your form in witango, but you don't post to another taf. You
post it to a ASP .NET page. This page receives the post from the mac,
or whatever, bug free, and in your ASP .NET code, you can then "hand
off" the results of the form post to a receiving witango page with a
redirect, and a get argument. The get argument would be some unique
id. The ASP .NET page will take the file, and save it in a temporary
place, and save it with the id as the file name, or something like
that. When it redirects to the taf, the taf gets the get arg, and
finds the file and does what it needs.
It gets trickier if the form has more than just the file, but also
other fields. In that case, we also have asp store an xml file with
the data, and when handed off to the tango taf, it reads in the
values. I don't remember if tango2000 had ANY xml abilities, but you
could store any type of text file, like a name value pair that could
be tokenized or something.
Anyway, just a thought.

This is a known issue with T2K. T2K processes multi part
boundaries with a hard coded string size for the boundary marker.
Opera and Safari used a longer boundary marker than T2K could
handle so it gets truncated which causes the matching of the
boundaries to fail so the server cannot find the uploaded file part
of the request. This issue was fixed in an early release of
Witango 5. If you look at the raw http request you will see the
difference in the boundaries between Safari and IE.
IIS 5 also had issues with the multi part boundaries sent from
Safari which were fixed in W2K SP4.

No, I am using Windows 2004 Server (Windows NT 5.2) and IIS 6 with
Tango 2000. Seems like some of the documentation in the original
taf said something about it not working with Macs, but that
wasn't an issue for me then. It sure is now, tho. I just
assumed the problem was with how Mac files are.
Hope that helps.

I've got a fairly straightforward upload taf that

The upload taf I'm
using won't work with a Mac.
Does anyone know of a simple upload taf that will
allow for the uploading of images on either a PC
or a Mac?
