make binary! fails

The following operation fails about 50% of the time: content-length: 20 + load system/options/cgi/content-length post-data: make string! content-length read-io system/ports/input post-data content-length post-data: make binary! post-data Instead of making post-data binary, it makes post-data 'none Huh?

Actually, I've already debugged this by printing post-data before and after I use the make binary! statement on post-data. Before I make it binary, post-data always returns expected contents. After I make it binary, it sometimes returns none. Ryan C.

If you go to this URL and choose a small image to upload and click on the submit button, you will see my debugging info http://www.fargonews.com/test-post2.html First you will see post-data printed before it is binary. Then you will see post-data (binary): and following it will be the post-data variable as a binary value. It only shows a binary value sometimes, even when you use the same image. I don't have looped read-io there yet, so use a small image. Ryan C.
