Safari may be doing something different than most browsers, but from what I have tested, it is within spec. My file uploads have worked in all places I have tried them with Safari, except my witango apps.
If it works everywhere but Witango, I think the onus is on Witango. I am not saying that Witango has a bug, it may or may not, but I think there should be a fix to support upload from Safari, if everyone else does. Apple will not fix an issue that works in other places but not Witango.
Let me know if you do not report it to Witango, and I will.

I've tested this problem with a Tango 2000 server running under IIS and a Witango 5 server running on a Mac under Apache and both give the same results. Judging by the responses, I'd say that this looks to be a Safari problem, so I will begin there by submitting a bug report. The same import file that I'm attempting to upload will work fine using IE on the same machine.
Thanks to all who helped,

A form in a taf or tml or anyfile mapped to witango, is processed by witango. I think there is a post from Phil clarifying this issue on a thread a while back about file uploads choking iis.

have you done a view source on file upload forms that work and dont work and

have you put a plain html file of a file upload form on your server and had
witango serve the exact same thing and confirmed that the plain html works
where witango doesnt?
If you do these i bet you will see its not witango. I dont believe witango
is what deals with the file uploads, but that your web server does so it
shouldnt matter if witango served the page or not.

It is definitely Safari, however I used to have problems uploading
files to any service, now I only have problems when I upload to witango
since I upgraded to Safari 1.0.
Since my current experience is that my uploading to web forms with
Safari is that it only doesn't work with witango, I would submit it as
a bug with Witango so they can investigate it and either report it to
apple themselves, or fix the compatibility issue.
Please confirm that you post the bug.

Hi Steve,
I think someone else might have mentioned a similar problem with Safari
before.
Does the upload HTML <FORM> element start something like:
<FORM method='POST' enctype="multipart/form-data"
action="myupload.taf">
The debug information you are showing for the Safari upload looks very
unusual. I would hazard a guess that there is something not well-formed
about your HTML that Safari is choking on - and as a result is posting
gibberish. This is likely more of a browser issue than a Server issue.
Most browsers can compensate for bad HTML coding habits, but maybe
Safari is
being too strict or can't deal with some particular element or
attribute.
Do you have the upload form online somewhere that we can look at?
Let us know. Cheers....

Subject: Witango-Talk: OT: File Uploads with Safari
I have an application that allows a user to submit an import file for
processing. It has been running without problems under various
browsers but
recently I tried it with the released version of Safari (1.0 v85). The
response I received was a "Could not open the specified file".
When I examine the Application File portion of the debug, I see the
following:
START /adm/importinventory.taf Tango_2000_Server
_function=uploadfile&_UserReference=D7FDB24AAE18AE193F2FE23F
------------0xKhTmLbOuNdArY Content-Disposition: form-data;
name="SAVEAS"
------------0xKhTmLbOuNdArY Content-Disposition: form-data;
name="fupload";
filename=ÿ*¿âP Total Length of Postargs: 4417
When I look at the debug from IE (on the Mac) which works properly, I
get a
slightly different content for the Application File portion of the
debug:
START /adm/importinventory.taf Tango_2000_Server
_function=uploadfile&_UserReference=DC7355EE5B35C6DA3F2FE3D0
fupload="241031","1277","1265" "001909","820","809" "94354","198","188"
"001666","4056","4046" "24104X",ÿ ¿âP SAVEAS=3000-inventory
export0728.csv
Total Length of Postargs: 4523
I'm curious if anyone else has experienced problems like this with
Safari
and if so, how did they resolve them. I've tested this under Witango
5.0.1.062 and I get the same results so I'm pretty sure that this is a
Safari thing.
Any ideas?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Steve Smith
