[OT?] File upload weirdness on MacOSX

[Sylvain Wallez <sy...@anyware-tech.com>]

Hi all,

This is a bit OT, but I encountered some problems with file uploads on 
MacOSX, using the woody upload sample 
(http://localhost:8888/samples/woody/upload):

- with Safari, no upload happens at all! I checked the incoming stream, 
and the file input is simply not sent.

- with Mozilla, accented letters in filenames are sent as the unaccented 
letter followed by the accent as an XML entity (e.g. "é" is sent as 
"é", 769 being the unicode for "combining acute accent"). Is this 
notation allowed by the http RFC??

Weird...

Any hints?

Sylvain

I know ... I am way behind with this list !!!

I just tried the Woody Upload sample with cocoon 2.1.4, and it appeared  
to work correctly (it showed the uploaded document on the 'success'  
screen). I uploaded the file :
	file://localhost/Users/jerm/Development/Libs/Apache/cocoon-2.1.4/ 
CREDITS.txt

Have not tested Mozilla.

HTH
