FYI: When you use "multipart/form-data" for "post" encoding to upload files. You will have problem with Netscape6 (different problem with older version, too) as follows. 1) User posts form (w/o selecting a file to upload). 2) User decides to go back to previous page with browser's "back" button. 3) Netscape6 will not send valid post data and connection will timeout. This happens only with "multipart/form-data" is used for the form, and when user did not specify a file to upload. If user specifies the file to upload, it works w/o problems. I posted this information because I wasted hours to figure out what's wrong. Hope this info saves someone's time. http://www.php.net/manual/handling-file-uploads.php
