My conclusion: the file upload is refused iff the comment is empty --
in other words the complaint about an empty comment is coded wrongly
and should only occur when the comment is empty *and* no file is
uploaded.  Or maybe they want you to add a comment with your file --
that's fine too, but the error isn't very clear.

http or https made no difference.  I used NS 4.72 on Linux; Tim used
IE and had the same results.
