Some restrictive firewalls may not let file uploads happen via a form with
enctype="multipart/form-data".
We were having problems with an upload script hanging (not returning content) when a file was
uploaded through a remote office firewall. Removing the enctype parameter of the form allowed the
form submit to happen but then broke the file upload capability. Everything but the file came
through. Using a dial-in or other Internet connection (bypassing the bad firewall) allowed
everything to function correctly.
So if your upload script does not respond when uploading a file, it may be a firewall issue.
