Question

I am having trouble uploading and attaching files. After filling out the file name and press the button for upload and attach, it fails with the message in the error log 'Malformed multipart Post'. Any ideas?

$CGI::revision = '$Id: CGI.pm,v 1.49 $CGI::VERSION='2.752'; .

Answer

I haven't seen this before, but you might want to try uploading from the same browser to a page under Sandbox.WebHome on twiki.org, and to try different browsers against your web server. It sounds like either a browser or server bug - I know that CGI.pm has significant code in it to work around such problems, so you might also like to investigate that angle.

After a fair amount of work to CGI.pm, I did get this working. It required no changes to TWiki code I don't know if it was due to our particular server setup or no one has ever done the filedownload function of CGI.pm on a OS/390 USS platform before because I had to make siginificant changes to it. I will pass them on to Lincoln after getting them tidied up a bit.

Glad you got it working at last!
