mac users needs to upload pdfs to the site. i build xhtml 1.0 transtitional valid form which shows everything that's been uploaded thus far (and fields to edit what the web users will see) and a few blanks for adding new uploads. so theres maybe 100 fields and 25 are file upload fields.
the intranet server is win2k3 with iis. uploads work (getting uploading to a UNC path was challenging, but that's another post) on PC's in any browser. the site requires you to log in. i'd use integrated authentication but IIS doesn't properly use this info to make sure the logged in user has permissions to save on remote file servers (back to the UNC thing), so we're using Basic Authentication and ssl.
well. everything is fine in non-ssl mode, but with ssl on, safari would hang forever and then evetually tell me i'm not connected to the internet (interesting and silly error message).
so, long story short, i'm going back and forth, switching this switch on, that property off, etc, and finally i hit on one that seems to take care of it: i removed
enctype="multipart/form-data" from the form code. so now it looks like:
Code: Select all
<form action="<?php $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">now i know this situation is something that 0.001% of you are going to run into, but this will save that one person a few days of hairpulling hopefully.
thanks for listening,
jim
