Testing HTTPUploadRequest
Greg Ward

I'd like to get some help testing my new HTTPUploadRequest class.  To
that end, I've setup a little form and CGI script here:

  http://cthulhu.gerg.ca:8000/upload.html

That form does *not* directly use HTTPUploadRequest -- the backend is a
simple CGI script that just saves the environment and stdin.  Later I'll
feed the collected env/stdin sets through HTTPUploadRequest and see what
breaks.  The idea is to see how different browsers format HTTP upload
requests, and to see if HTTPUploadRequest actually handles what it's
likely to encounter in the wild.  (I've deliberately limited just what
HTTPUploadRequest *can* handle, because RFC 1867 -- which [loosely]
specifies HTTP upload -- is both wildly over-generalized and quite vague
on just what's allowed/expected.)

Anyways, please throw as many browser/OS combinations as you can find at
that upload form.  Big files, small files, text files, binary files --
give it the works.  Try single files, multiple files at a time, whatever
you can think of.  Go crazy.  Please follow-up here with a brief summary
of the browser/OS combinations you've tried, so we don't have 30 people
all banging away with Mozilla 1.1 on Linux.  ;-)

I'll post again when I have enough test cases.

Thanks!

        Greg
