RE: multipart POST problems
My understanding is that upload() is only for only and
that param() handles all of the other form elements. That's how I've
implemented it here and all works as expected.
BTW, I don't do any checking to see how the form was submitted. I use
Apache::Request for all of my form submission methods and everything works
fine, no matter how the information was submitted.

multipart POST problems
This is a resend - for some reason I'm having problems sending to the list
from my main email account. Doh!

I've been attempting to write a perl module that handles POSTs of type
multipart/form-data, and have been having a rough time.
I'm using Apache::Request to process the request. I have dumped the
content-type of the incoming request, and verified that it's
"multipart/form-data". I can use param() to get the parameters, but I can't
seem to use upload() to access the blocks directly.
I've included the code from my test handler below. Basically it attempts to
access a large parameter MIME block two ways - using param() and using
upload(). The param() version works fine, but the upload() version can't
find the block.
Any clues? The only thing that I can think of is that for this test case,
the MIME type of the "message" block is text/plain (it's in a TEXTAREA
field, for testing purposes). Is it possible that Apache::Request will not
allow me to process "normal" form fields with upload()?
-jse
sub handler
{
my $r = shift;
my $apr = Apache::Request->new($r);
my $block;
my $buffer;
$r->content_type('text/html');
$r->send_http_header();
$buffer = $apr->param('message');
$r->print("Message:$buffer");
$block = $apr->upload('message');
if ($block)
{
$r->print("Found message");
}
else
{
$r->print("No message");
}
return OK;
}
