I really don't know, it could be the parser is just misbehaving on your
particular html form. What you can do to further investigate is something like
this:
my $upload = eval { $req->upload("foo") };
if ($@) {
$upload = [EMAIL PROTECTED]>upload("foo"); # won't die this time
}
...
and try to see where the form data is getting lost.
For some reason, I am doubting my own HTML skills...or perhaps I've been
staring at this for so long, the screen is getting blurry :-) .
Anything here looks suspicious?
test1.html:
http://localhost/~user/test2.html"; method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data" name="mai nform">
Submit
Clear
test2.html:
<%args>
$filename
$keyword
<%perl>
print $filename, "";
print $keyword, "";
my $req = Apache2::Request -> new ($r);
my @params = $req -> param ();
print scalar (@params), "\n\n";
<%
#my $upload = $req->upload ('filename');
%>
There's some Mason in there, but basically, both $filename and $keyword
print out ok (well, the filename), so it doesn't seem like any part of
the form is "lost". "scalar (@params)" is 0, though...which makes me
think I'm doing something wrong. Shouldn't it be 2? And of course, if
I move the commented line up, I get the "End of file found" error...
As much as I'd like to be like other newbies and blame either apreq2 or
the browser and say one of them is buggy :-) ...I'm more inclined to
believe that since other people use it, it must be something that I'm
doing wrong. If I remove the file input, and just leave the text box,
then I still get the error. So, it isn't because of the file
uploading... (I've changed the Subject to reflect this...)
Perhaps it's what I'm doing with Mason?

PS: I don't mean to put you on the spot, Joe, for replying to me
initially (which I am thankful for!). Of course, if anyone else can
give me their ideas, I'd appreciate it, too!

Yes. Your code behaves as if CGI.pm was being used by Mason instead of apreq. When that happens, CGI.pm steals the post data, and apreq sees nothing but an "End of File" situation. If I were you, I'd double-check how you configured Mason to select apreq instead of CGI.pm. That's probably where the bug lies. -- Joe Schaefer

That's probably where the bug lies. Thanks for the tip! Yes, I finally found the problem. Indeed, it was because of how I configured Mason -- by default, it uses CGI.pm... No wonder the word "CGI" didn't appear in any of my configuration files when I was grepping... Unrelated to modperl, but in case a Mason user sees the same problem as me, adding this line to httpd.conf will do it: PerlSetVar MasonArgsMethod 'mod_perl' Now, I can see the number of parameters sent and can access the uploaded file fine. That's a lot of time spent for a single line... :-) Thanks for the help and the suggestion...that definitely helped me narrow things down! Ray

What's happening is that $req->upload calls $req->body, and that is
die'ing with the "End of file found" error. What browser are you using,
and what version of apreq?
(The problem you're seeing is either a bug in apreq's mfd parser,
or in what your browser is actually emitting).

Hi Joe, Joe Schaefer wrote: with a form using the "post" method and an enctype of "multipart/form-data". In my browser, I am getting a single message: "End of file found". That is, the single line. What's happening is that $req->upload calls $req->body, and that is die'ing with the "End of file found" error. What browser are you using, and what version of apreq? Oh! I see. After I read your message, I tried other browsers and while all browsers could be wrong, I got the same error. First, I was using Iceweasel 2.0.0.3 and then I tried the Gnome Web Browser (Epiphany) 2.14.3 and even Elinks 0.11.X, all running on Debian and the same machine that the server is on (I'm testing locally). apreq2 is version 2.08.4 on Debian stable (testing seems to have a 2.08.5...). Any suggestions on how I can resolve the problem? Could there be something wrong in the server set-up, etc.? As I said, it's all running on a test machine (i.e., the web server isn't live on the Internet) so perhaps I didn't set it up correctly? Thank you for your reply! Ray

Hmm, that's the latest version. I don't think debian has applied any
local mods to the codebase.
