This is followup. Any braniacs out there that might be able to fix this?
The short story:
-----------------
uploading compressed binary files from within webware 8.0 corrupts the uploaded file
How do I know?
--------------
I use cgi.py in a non-webkit cgi file to upload the exact same file without problem.
The paper trail
---------------
webkit servlet calls multipart/form-data
<-- WebKit/HTTPRequest.py
<-- WebUtils/FieldStorage
<-- cgi.py
I believe what is happening is that in WebUtils/FieldStorage, "def parse_qs" uses
urllib.unquote which alters the GET string and the content of the file. It doesnt
appear to matter to text files. Only compressed binary files (bzip2,gzip) seem to get
corrupted. def parse_qs in WebUtils/FieldStorage.py overrides cgi.py's and the
original which does not use urllib. I'm also using compressed files > 3MB.
Occasionally smaller .gz files will pass uncorrupted.
I'd be happy to send actual test files to anyone who thinks they can resolve this.
Thanks to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for the previous private response. Yes I did try to use
your method without success.
