117847 - multipart/form-data forms not sending content in .9.7

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116210

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[akrowne]

The size of the form data is properly getting sent, but no data gets sent (the
content after the header is literally null).  The same form works fine in w3m
and worked fine in mozilla .9.6.  The page requires an account to get in, so
here is the form itself:

<font face="sans-serif" COLOR="#000000"><form method="post" action="/"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<font color="#ff0000" size="+1"></font>
Type: <select name="type"><option value="algorithm">algorithm<option
value="biography">biography<option value="proof">proof<option value="data
structure">data structure<option value="axiom">axiom<option
value="topic">topic<option value="definition">definition<option
value="theorem">theorem</select>
Title: <input TYPE="text" name="title" value="" SIZE="30"><br>
<br>
*This is a proof of (if applicable): <input type="text" name="proof" value=""
size="30">
<br><br>
<table> <font face="sans-serif">
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center>Associations (<a
href="/?op=assocguidelines">Guidelines</a>)</td></tr>
<tr><td>Synonyms:</td><td> <input type="text" name="synonyms" value=""

</font></table>
<br>
<br>

<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="op" VALUE="adden">
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="table" VALUE="objects">

<td bgcolor="#eeeeee" align="center">
<table><td>
<center><font size="+1">Manage This Object's Filebox</font></center>
<br> <font size="+1" color="#ff0000"></font>
Urls to grab, if any (enter one on each line):<br>
<textarea name="urls" cols="75" rows="4"></textarea><br><br>

Attach file:<br>
<input type="file" size="50" name="upload" value="">
<input TYPE="submit" name="filebox" VALUE="upload">
<br><br>

Delete files:
   <table>
<td valign="top">
<input type="submit" name="filebox" value="remove">
<input type="hidden" name="tempdir" value="temp/282">
<input type="hidden" name="filechanges" value="">
</td>
<td>
[no files]
    </td>
</table>
</td></table>
</td>
</table>

</form

I attached my comments to bug #92946, but it would also apply to this bug.

This is mentioned in the 0.9.7 release notes (under "File upload" in the 
"Navigator" section).  Fixed on trunk now....
