Q: File Upload Problem

Thu Jul 27 04:18:36 EDT 2000

I wrote a simple cgi script to upload files by Web browsers.

It works perfect on Linux with Apache1.3.

But on WindowsNT with Apache1.3, it works only for text files

Uploaded image files are truncated.

I don't understand which my Python script or Apache
causes the problem.

If you know anything about it,
Please let me know.

Thanks for reading this article.

    if item.file:
        data = item.file.read()
        print len(data);        # see if data is truncated here
    else:
        print "no file"

print "</html>"
