curl fails to upload mutliple binary files to a CGI.pm script (RedHat, Win2k)
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2004 17:05:11 +0100
Hi,
I have a CGI-script which uses the CGI.pm Perl module
to provide an enctype="multipart/form-data" web form
with multiple file upload fields. This web script works
fine when used from Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
The script fails however with curl. I've tried both
Windows and Linux (RedHat 9) versions as shown below:
H:\jwalter\rom>H:\curl.exe --version
curl 7.11.0 (win32) libcurl/7.11.0 zlib/1.1.4
Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file
Features: libz
boclu21:rom {481} /usr/bin/curl --version curl 7.8 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.8 (OpenSSL 0.9.6b) (ipv6 enabled)
The error message I get in the Apache's error_log is:
[Tue Mar 9 15:11:07 2004] upload-image.pl: mot2img failed: 11 at /var/www/cgi-bin/upload-image.pl line 538, <fh00003cipher.dat> line 1.
I do read from <$fhcipher> which is $query->upload('cipher')
in my Perl script but not on the line 538 (strange??)
I do try to run system('mot2img', ...) and it does work
fine with the web browsers mentioned above.
The outputs for the Windows and Linux versions of curl
are listed below. Does anyone have an idea what could
be wrong? I'm sorry, but I don't have a simple test
case right now. Is multiple HTTP-upload supposed to work?
Regards
Alex
