Unfortunately I don't have an answer as to why you can't upload, but
I can give you a little information that might help you.
First, when using Jason Hunter's library, request.getParameter won't
work. His library reads the entire posting and then provides methods to get
the parameters back. So Tomcat 4m5 might work.
Second, you are not running Tomcat behind Apache or any other web
server. Therefore, you are not using AJP13 or AJP12. You are using HTTP as
your protocol (as the stack trace lists).
I am using Tomcat 3.2.1 to receive binary files (on the order of
100K - 1M, Excel and Access files) without any problems over HTTP. If this
request if coming from a program, I would look at how its building the
headers, because that is where the problem is (readHeaders). Otherwise, I
don't think I can be of much help.
