Apache::Request::upload

[Dave Thomas <da...@xor.com>]

Hello,

    Question: Why does the Apache::Request object not return an Upload
object when
there was a file sent.

   Backgroud: I have pulled the sample script from the Apache::Request
distribution and
used that in my handler, this instance works fine. When I try to use it
incorporated
with the object model developed here it closes up shop and goes home.

 I initialize the Apache::Request object in an init function from the
handler. This is then
used to display the templated html content with
$apr->send_http_header('text/html');
at its top. I've made certain that the Request object's address remains
the same
throughout this process. When I fill in the file field and submit the
first thing that the
script does after initializing the Request object is try to initialize
the Upload object, this
fails miserably with a return value of undef.

Any suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Dave Thomas

The template contains the ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data",
uses METHOD="POST", and the action is my handler.

I initialize the object with:
my $r     = 'Apache'->request();
my $apr = 'Apache::Request'->new($r);


From within my local CGI class I get the Apache::Request class reference
from
the passed hash ref and set up the meta-data:
$self->{_ApacheRequest} = $args->{ApacheRequest};

This line always returns undef (but it works with the example program):
$self->{_ApacheRequestUpload} = $self->{_ApacheRequest}->upload;

I have also tried in the init object:
my $upload = $apr->upload;

Thank you,
Dave

Most likely you're missing a 

	ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" 

in your FORM tag. 

Hope this helps
