Simple Question... I hope
Ok, I'm uploading a file to a 3rd party. The file is being uploaded to
an https site with a cgi extension. The 3rd party finally provided me
with a snippet of their Perl code. They see the attempt coming
through, but there is no data. I understand how all this works... i
think there's just a dot i'm not connecting somewhere. PLEASE HELP...
Thanks in advance!!!
In my html file I have...
font size=4 color=#66File: /fontINPUT TYPE=file
NAME=XML_DATA size=47/p
INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=submitButtonName VALUE=Submit Query/p
See below:
Here is the Perl snippet of what they're doing...
my $query = new CGI;
my (@data) = $query-param;
my (%data,$key);
foreach $key (@data)
{
$data{$key} = $query-param($key);
logXmlOrder (key($key) data($data{$key}));
}
read(STDIN,$xmlcontent,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
logXmlOrder (Content=$xmlcontent);
Here is what they're telling me is logged on their side:
key(submitButtonName) data(Submit Query)
Content=

Are you a server, or just a client to a server?
I am sorry but I don't understand what you are doing.
Normally, the actioning cgi script is on the server and you call that to
upload your file.
If you have access to your server, have a look at
http://search.cpan.org/~gunnar/CGI-UploadEasy-0.11/ for the easiest means
for uploading files

You didn't tell us what the form tag looks like in your code. It
much be a post and of enctype multipart/form-data.

Reply to Owen: I'm the client. The cgi script is on the 3rd party's server. I'm just creating a form that will post a file. Reply to David Sean: form method=post action=https://somedomain.com/abc123/cgi-bin/ thescript.cgi enctype=multipart/form-data am I completely on the wrong track? Thank you for all your help!!!
