All, I am still trying to figure out why my setup of mod_perl does not have multipart POSTs. I rebooted my machine, and found that, whereas I reported before mod_perl would try to reload the page (which it should not but send out a text/plain attachment for download), it appears the script (running as a perl handler) does not see any of the multipart POST. Vanilla posts are not a problem, though. Even if the information being sent via multipart is _not_ a file to upload to the server, the information is lost in transit.
Here is what is odd. The same scripts/modules unmodified and running as perl_cgi are okay. Multipart forms allow me to upload files, et cetera. In short, I am confident the problem is not with my programming. I am using the code snippet, POST2GET, to capture the one-time read of POST and storing as if it was retrieved via GET. Any ideas how to debug this? I REALLY REALLY would love some feedback. I would love to think that all my effort to stay away from M$ ASP are worth it -- esp. when I stand up to defend Perl, Apache, and mod_perl in an environment that is decidely M$-bent. Thanks! Ward
