It's required if you want to upload binary data ;) (Read: file uploading...)

thanks timvw, i will definitely read file uploading...
when you say the file is transferred in binary then the form data is transferred in ascii?
if in ascii, you say that the transfer is a stream of ascii chars to the server passing all networks without any binary conversion???totally confused :roll:
