Re: Mac IE 5.0 upload problem

I don't know what your problem might be, but there is nothing wrong with the file upload on Mac IE5. We use it all the time, in connection with both perl and php server-side and there is no problem. You do have to make sure the file you upload is essentially flat (ie no resource fork, since that will be stripped) but most file formats are flat these days anyway. I'm not sure about Quark. IE 4.5 should *not* be uploading in MacBinary, so I guess that's a bug they fixed for 5.0. See if you can upload a gif or a jpeg file and retrieve it properly. There shouldn't be a problem.
