Upload not working in FireFox

I'm using the standard upload component in ASP.NET 1.1 to allow authors to
upload manuscripts to our server.

This is working fine except for some people using FireFox. The problem is,
the upload is working for MY fireFox browser so I'm unable to troubleshoot
and step through the code to see what is really going on. The is one
customer who has the same browser version as me and another who has an older
version.

I have told these people to use IE as a work around, but I would like to
know if there is a possible setting in FireFox that would prevent the upload
from happening. Has anyone else seen this problem and if so, do you know
what the cause is?

Thanks,
Velvet

Hi Velvet ,

Regarding on the fileuploading issue, I think it likely a client
environment specific issue. Have you confirmed with those customers that
their firefox's version is identical with those which work correctly?
Based on my understanding, since the ASP.NET's fileupload control just
encapsulate the html <input type="file" ..../> element, so I suggest you
also create a simple page which use the raw html element to upload file, if
this still not work, the problem is purely concerned with the client-side
browser.

Regards,

Steven Cheng

I am using the html input type=file to upload files to the webserver. This is working fine, but only for files less than ~3mb in size. When I attempt to upload a file >3mb, i immediatley receive a standard error "page cannot be displayed, cannot find server or dns error". Very odd indeed. In looking through the logs, I see my request and it appears to be logging a HTTP 400 (Bad Request). I believe this to be a problem related to asp.net or...

I've a file upload script on my site. I just now used it to upload a small text document (10k). Everything worked fine. Then I tried to upload a 5.3 meg Quicktime video. Didn't work. I've set the POST limit in php.ini to 8 megs. What reasons, other than the POST limit, would a large upload fail?

I have a strange problem when uploading a PDF document to a web-server. When I try this to a web-server running Apache 2 on a FC 4, it fails. Firefox says that the document contain no data. If I upload it to a different web-server running RH 7.3 (an internal test-webserver), it works OK. The PDF document is created by OpenOffice 2.0 from a MS Word document. I have also had it converted to PDF in MS Word that could create PDF documents....

i want to do (multiple) file upload(s) and display a progress bar. with firefox and safari it is no problem at all. only IE makes some problems. my script is based on ajax-uploader, which can be found at www.srmiles.com/freestuff/ajax_file_uploader/ . you can do multiple file uploads. each upload will have it's own "form"-tag, so that each file is uploaded for its own. could be a good solution if there are "big" uploads.

I work for an animal hospital trying to use PHP to store an animal's dental x-rays to a file server. I can browse for the xray on the local desktop computer then click "Upload Image". This works fine. The doctors want fewer steps to follow. So, it was asked if I can configure the browser to load/submit the image 'xray.tif' each time they click "Upload Image" instead of the doctor/animal technician having to look for for dental x-ray...
