FILE UPLOAD

[Battle_Fury]

Hi,
I'm trying to upload a file through the HTTP::Request::Common using the POST method by changing the type to 'form-data' etc.. But instead of going to the next page,I'm getting an error message "Error while sending the Email 006~ASP 0207~Cannot use Request.Form~Cannot use Request.Form collection after calling BinaryRead."

Thing is, even if I use the browser manually, the upload works only in IE and not in firefox. Using Live HTTP Headers, I've pasted the headers sent below and have also pasted the POST section of my Perl code. Pls hav a look and lemme know what I need to change for transition to the next page without gettig this error msg:
In I.E:

Assuming that you didn't write the VBScript (ASP) in question, I'd say that the server code is poorly written and is getting a (probably) valid HTTP request that it can't handle... probably a combination of bad assumptions by the author.

The error is saying that the server code is trying to access form fields after the request data has been "consumed" by a call to BinaryRead - likely to support the file-upload facility.

This is very unlikely to be your fault.

Well that confirms it... written by fools, only tested on IE.

Whether or not there's a problem with the content of your request, it shouldn't have that kind of impact on the server-side scripts.
