file upload

Hi,

I have the following code:

html form: [ html fileUpload
              callback: [:f | self halt].
              html submitButton text: 'Load'].

When I select a file for uploading and the callback is executed I see
that the file returned to me is not the full pathname.

Is there a way to get the full pathname of the selected file?

Thanks,
Frank

You mean the client-provided pathname?  The meaningless arbitary string
of characters?

If so, no, and that's a good thing.

What Randal is trying to say is that this is intentionally not provided

Thanks to you both (Randall and Boris).  I was going down the wrong
path, you comment made me realize it.

Except IE, which does provide it, which is why WAFile>>fileName goes
out of its way to get rid of that :)

I wonder how this callback is trigger **at all**, if you don't declare
the form as being multipart?

Could you explain why it has to be part of a multipart form?  I hope the
answer is not too obvious :)

not too obvious (wasn't really aware of it) but documented in the
method ;) Searching is not so easy... to find the method I searched
for selectors containing multipart (cmd+shift+w), then (there are
some) I had to find the class where it's defined...
Google helped me too :)

WAForemTag>>multipart
        "Sets the content type used to submit the form to the server (when
the value of method is 'post') to multipart/form-data instead the
default application/x-www-form-urlencoded. This should be used in
combination with a WAFileUploadTag."
        self attributeAt: 'enctype' put: 'multipart/form-data'

more information here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.2

"The content type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" is inefficient
for sending large quantities of binary data or text containing
non-ASCII characters. The content type "multipart/form-data" should be
used for submitting forms that contain files, non-ASCII data, and
binary data."
