Problems with IE5.5/IE6.0 and MultiPart Requests

["Thorwesten, Klaus" <kl...@b-next.de>]

Hi,

we have a webapplication based on struts 1.0.1 running on a Tomcat 3.3.1 and
Apache 1.3.26. This application contains the possibility to upload files to
the server. 
We use the struts-upload functionality for this.

When using the upload with IE 5.5 or IE 6.0 the browser sends a duplicated
request which
means that the first part of the request is sent twice while the second part
of the 
request, which contains the file information, is only sent once. 

>From time to time we get a ServletException 
"MultipartIterator: invalid multipart request data, doesn't start with
boundary"
It seems to be that when this exception occures the MultipartIterator
doesn't read from
file-section of the request, but it reads from one of the duplicated
request-parts as
the first line starts with "POST bla.do ... "

Another phenomenom is that sometimes the sessions seems to be lost. This
also occures
when uploading files with IE 5.5 or IE 6.0.

Has anyone a hint or faced a similar problem?

Thanks in advance,
Klaus

I'm not sure.. So din't sue me if I'm wrong, but I was looking through the
cvs logs for struts the other day.. And I recall there was such a bug ..

If I was in your shoes I'd get my hands on the commons-fileupload.jar. Its
what is used for 1.1, this was you don't have to risk any bleeding edges
issues..

Hope this helps and I'd be interested whether is works
