I never tested WebStar, but I will tell you what I did.
Safari definitely did uploads differently than the other browsers,
when I tested. I hooked up safari and other browsers to sniffers I
wrote to accept uploads and profile the way they uploaded. Safari
chunked the data differently than the rest of the bunch. I was
convinced it was safari causing the issue with witango.
We were in the process of developing uploading images through
webservices, via software and browser, and it had to be fullproof.
After weeks of testing, and tweaking code, we decided to try changing
the host webserver, and leaving witango code and setup the same. We
DEFINITELY found the issues to be tied to the WEBSERVER software, and
not witango. Safari definitely brings out the problem more with some
webservers. From all the research and testing I did, it seemed that
safari wasn't acting outside the spec, just not the same as IE and
FF, and caused a problem with some webservers.
We found the problem with IIS 5, and when we went to apache on
windows, with same witango setup, on same machine, the problem went
away. We then tested IIS 6 on windows with witango, and we have not
had the problem there either.
My suggestion is to create a test case, that fails every time, then
run it uploading to apache/witango, instead of webstar/witango, and I
think you will find the problem goes away. The issues is how safari
buffers and sends data, and the webserver will disconnect, thinking
the upload is over prematurely. At least that is what happened in IIS
5. Because witango never touches the data, until the upload is
complete, the problem has to be the webserver, and not witango.
I am pulling most of this from memory, I have not had to deal with
these issues for many moons, so don't pin me to the details. ;-)

WebStar 5.4.1.
It would seem the problem is Safari. Loads of upload issues with it.
I'm about to try FireFox. Fortunately these are generally used in
controlled
environments so specifying a browser isn't a huge issue.
