upload.prg & httpfiletransfer.cc

I'm trying to use Michael Nuwer's Upload.prg (slightly modified to
allow multiple uploads) & HTTPFIleTransfer.cc with apache for
uploading some DBF files

If the file is under 1mb it works fine. If the file is over 1mb it
seems to upload the file okay, but then it appears to hang and
eventually I get a msg about a server error.

Could this be some sort of server timeout or ???

Thanks

Frank,

In your web apps are you using frames? When Mike first came out with this
utility, I started using it right away, although mostly the downloading.
When used in frames the application always hung up. After some discusssion
with Mike, I resorted to opening a second small separate window for the
process which resolved it. Not sure if this helps.

One other thing I had to fix in the utility, is the use of the quotation
marks. When our company moved to using FireFox as our browser, I found that
file names with blanks in the name where truncated when the download
dialouge box appeared. This was a small fix (see below). You may want to
detail the uploading section the same way.

For a better explantion go to this link
http://kb.mozillazine.org/ Filename...br /> _download

The fix is very easy however.
1. Open HTTPFILETRANSFER.CC
2. change the delimiters as follows
Exiting Line:
this.fOut.puts("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="+cFilename)
Revised Line:
this.fOut.puts('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'+cFilename+'"')
3. Compile this .cc and any app that references this app and your done.

In other words simply change the existing double quotes to single, then add
closing qoutes after the cFilename variable.

No I'm not using frames, and haven't tried downloading anything yet.
I'll change the line you noted

Thanks
