How to parse a multipart form in CGI/PERL?

2 New Member
Im trying to parse form data from a form that has an input type: file, which requires a multipart encode. The form also has other input text boxes, the names of which are populated on the fly so the names of the text boxes are unknown to hard code into the script that parses the form. Most of the research I've done on how to parse multipart forms suggests to use a format such as the following:

$mycgi = new CGI;
print $mycgi->header;

# get the file from the input stream
$upload = $mycgi->param("UPLOAD" );

Is it possible for me to get the names and values of the unknown text fields with this type of parsing? If so, how? Thanks for any assitance in advance

You could use the following.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. my %params = $q->Vars;
  2.  
  3. while (my ($key, $value) = each %params) {
  4.     print "Key: $key\tValue: $value\n";
  5. }

Suppose that I have content that looks like what I've included at the end of this message. Is there something in the standard Python library that will help me parse it, break into the parts separated by the boundary strings, extract headers from each sub-part, etc? Do I need to add something like the following to the beginning? Content-Type: multipart/related; type="multipart/alternative";

Hello, Does anyone know where I can find an ASP server side script written in JavaScript to parse text fields from a form method='POST' using enctype='multipart/form-data'? I'd also like it to parse the filename. <form name='form1' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data' action='sub.asp'> <input type='text' name='title1' value='value1'> <input type='file' name='file1'>

Hi all, I'm trying to post multipart/form-data to a web page but seem to have run into a wall. I'm familiar with RFC 1867 and have done this before (with AOLServer and Tcl) but just can't seem to get it to work in Visual Basic. I tried coding it once myself from scratch and then modified a class that I found on a newsgroup (referenced below). Both seem to be doing the same thing and neither works (or rather, they seem to work but the...

Hey all, OK I'm not much of a PHP programmer; but needs must as they say. I have written AJAX file upload system that uses a PERL CGI script so that a PHP script can get the progress (nifty progress bar). Everything works great; except that currently I'm not decoding the POST in PERL; so the data file being written is the actual raw form data (multipart/form-data) with parameters and file content. I know that when you make a post to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
