Summary 0000446: "Failed creating formpost data" - hard spaces in file paths
Revision 2007-01-15 12:49 by mittens
Description NetSurf consistently reports the error "Failed creating formpost data" when I submit the contents of a web form that has an input field of type "file" that contains a RISC OS file path with one or more hard-space characters. This is easy to work around once you realise what the problem is, but can be frustrating before then because the other contents of the form is lost on every attempt.

I have witnessed this problem with both the 09 Jan 2007 19:45 and 14 Jan 2007 13:15 test builds of NetSurf. I am using the RISC OS 6 preview (21 Nov 2006) on a StrongARM Risc PC.

This may well be tangentially related to #1403338. It's clearly a charset issue.
