 Netscape 6.1 Problem
 
Primary Browser: 	ntsc61  
Operating System: 	WinNT  
Language: 		English  
Issue Summary: 		HTML FORM enctype=multipart/form-data Content-Disposiont filename
has not path
Component: 		Navigator
Doing What: 		Other  Handling a form
Severity: 		SomethingDidNotWorkRight  
Can Reproduce: 		Always
Try this URL: 		http://www.idocs.com/tags/forms/_INPUT_TYPE_FILE.html
Issue Detail: 
In an html, add an upload file control by 
<FORM NAME="uploadForm" ACTION="xxx.cgi" 
METHOD="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data>
File to upload:<INPUT TYPE="FILE" SIZE=30 
NAME="fileUpload">
</FORM>

The file received from the server side, in 
Content-Dispostion, has filename, but does not 
include a path, such as "c:\abc.txt" will be seen 
by the server as "abc.txt". 

Try it with the above URL (tutorial webpage) with 
Netscape 6 and 6.1, both version truncated the 
file path.
This is an intentional security feature.  See bug 84029.  You wouldn't really
want someone to know the path to your file anyway, would you?  :)
