Sorry, trigger happy on the enter key.

It looks like if mozilla is started in C:\Blah and the file is C:\Foo\myfile.txt

that when I call "getString" on that parameter (from my servlet), it reports the
filepath as C:\Blah\myfile.txt.

Same servlet worked file in 0.98 but was broken in 0.99 (for different reasons
than this, btw).

I'm using RC1.

Could have something to do with 59408  "Full path name of uploaded file not send"

This is almost certainly a duplicate of bug 59408....  Could you log the actual
data mozilla sends, by any chance? Are we sending "C:\Blah\myfile.txt" or
"myfile.txt" as the filename?  (the latter would be correct).

Mozilla is actually sending C:\Blah\myfile.txt (ie, an invalid path for the
selected file).

Having read the comments for bug 59408, it isn't impossible that it's my program
that's doing this wrong.  I'll test and try to mark this bug invalid.

My stupid fault, my .jsp was implicitly prepending it's current directory when
one wasn't supplied.  Sorry!
