Hello, thanks for the link to the tomcat sources. It took a while but we are willing to look at the code. We downloaded all tomcat sources (at least I hope so) and Ant to compile tomcat once, to see if it compiles before we begin to modify it.

[javac] 2 errors BUILD FAILED The fileupload package is commons-fileupload-current from http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/commons/fileupload/ from 25-Jun-2003 23:32, which seems to me being the newest available. When I use the commons-fileupload-1.0-beta-1 instead, these two errors disappear. My question is: is it safe to use the fileupload-beta with the tomcat 4.1.24 release or is it more safe to upgrade to a CVS version of tomcat and therefore using fileupload-current?
