>Release:        1.2.0 and 1.3a1
>Environment:
SunOS ntcorp.com 5.5.1 Generic_103640-08 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCsystem-600
>Description:
I'm running a set of PHP scripts that run fine on older sites, but when run on a brand new install of a recent Apache install (both 1.2.0 and today, 1.3a1), the scripts fail - passing through the error message 

"Unsupported content-type: multipart/form-data"



This is a two-part failure in that the HTTP 1.1 spec. requires that unrecognized multipart subtypes be treated as multipart/mixed.
>How-To-Repeat:
try http://ne-arts.net/php/files/files.phtml, select any file for uploading, and push the button - other things will fail since the script isn't fully installed, but the error message will be generated as the first result of executing the form post 
>Fix:
figure out why this stopped working from earlier version
