When trying to upload through the easy upload (the web interface of geocities
for uploads) i get this error:

Upload results
/home/ale/jvm.html
- Invalid filename

I have de 0.9.1 running on a Red Hat 7.1 Linux box. With the Netscape 4.77 works
fine.

Pretty sure this is not the reason we are prevented from uploading files to
geocities.  Note that the error message is "Invalid file" not "Invalid
filename".  Also note that Nav 4.75 and IE 5.5 both send the full path when
uploading files.  My guess is that Geocities is using PHP on the server side,
and testing the file to verify that it is a valid JPEG but finding a corrupted one.
