118366 - "multipart/form-data" compatibility issue (does not work)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 116210

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Ken Johanson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" (INPUT TYPE="file") form submissions do not
work -connection opened but webserver does not return response, as if waiting on
request to complete or a missing parameter?? I dont have any protocol level details.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open http://www.kensystem.com/formTest.stm
2. enter some form data (with or without file attachment)
3. submit form

Actual Results:  Connection open but no response from server -connection hangs
until timeout.

Expected Results:  NS4 and IE work fine with this same URL.

My prefs:
HTTP/1.0 (or 1.1)
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, compress;q=0.9

webserver is "Sambar Server" (www.sambarserver.com).

Maybe related to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7973, but not
exactly because my example occurs even when no INPUT TYPE="file" is selected.
