This is from memory.

Witango calculated the length of the upload correctly. But I think a pdf is supposed to end with %%eof. OS9 uploads were causing the pdf to end with %%eofCRLF.

In any event my Windows users were complaining that they could not open the pdfs that were uploaded by os9 users. Stripping all trailing CR and LF characters from PDFs solved the problem for Windows users.

BTW, no complaints about jpeg, png, doc, ppt gif files. So I think the issue was the Acrobat Reader objecting to the pdf file containing extra characters.

Bill - With these MacOS9 uploaded PDFs, did Witango provide the wrong LENGTH value? Would they just not open via the browser, or could not be opened at all in windows?
