#6 IE 6.0 upload problem

[Jason Pell]

Jason:

We have been tracing a very weird bug for quite a while
and have finally
found the issue. Please see the following two postings
regarding two
separate bugs with dumb @#$$%&^@#! IE browsers.

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18792

and

http://www.servlets.com/blog/archives/000032.html
(Look at the first
comment by user alim)

Based on these two problems, may I propose the
following two changes to the
code:

In initParser(...) determine the strBoundary as:

strBoundary = null;
if (strContentTypeText!=null &&
strContentTypeText.toLowerCase().startsWith("multipart/form-data"))
{
// This is done to handle IE and netscape
proxies incorrectly
setting the boundary
// (for this bug see
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18792\)
int startNdx =
strContentTypeText.indexOf("boundary=");
if (startNdx >= 0) {
int endNdx =
strContentTypeText.indexOf(",",startNdx+9);
if (endNdx < 0)
strBoundary =
strContentTypeText.substring(startNdx+9);
else
strBoundary =
strContentTypeText.substring(startNdx+9,endNdx);
strBoundary = strBoundary.trim();
}
}

if (strBoundary == null) {
// <mtl,jpell>
debug("ContentType = " + strContentTypeText);
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid
Content Type.");
}

And then at the beginning of parse(..)

// Must be boundary at top of loop, otherwise
we have finished.
// However, lovely IE 6.0 wigs out with some
strange chars in the
form fields
boolean foundFirstBoundary = false;
while ((read=readLine(in, blockOfBytes)) > 0) {
strLine = (read>0)? new
String(blockOfBytes, 0, read,
charEncoding): null;
if (strLine!=null &&
strLine.indexOf(this.strBoundary) >= 0) {
foundFirstBoundary = true;
break;
}
}
if (!foundFirstBoundary) {
throw new IOException("Invalid Form Data,
no boundary
encountered.");
}

Let me know. As always, thanks

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this problem. Any idea what EXACT
version of IE caused this.

Thanks
Jason

If someone can still reproduce the bug on their IE, can they use the Dump feature in the FileUploadWebApp to generate a dump to post to this report.
