CGI, uploading file using HTTP [REBOL] [out of ML]

Hi Graham,
You wrote: {
I put the content-transfer-encoding: base64 header in as there are a number
of ways to transfer files. These include base64 and binary. I have not
tested Andreas' script with binary transfers.
}
If I understand well, Andreas' script is binary oriented by default.
Did I miss something ???
Anyway, it works with NON converted transfer. Which is the only way I
observed experimentaly.
You provide on the ML: {

}
Should read:
http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/display/HTTP+file+uploading (mind "ing")
In your page, links to "Read/Custom" does not work (is interpreted as a
path by your HTTP server,
not as a keyword such as would be "Read+Custom"...)
You write {
>Rebol can do binary upload transfers ( content-transfer-encoding: binary )
>as well, you just can't do it as easily using read/custom, and you have to

}
If you know/find/write a small note (may be on the above page???) I'll
insert a link
to match point (3) within the first section (Scope of this page) of my page at
http://rebol.mksa.net/make-cgi/
I suggest that we "cross-link" our sites on this topic...

Graham's page is about the client side of doing HTTP form base
uploads. I.e. about using REBOL to post files to an HTTP server.
Our discussion (and my script) care for the server side, i.e. about
using REBOL to accept posts by clients.
Please note also, that Graham and I never tested interop betw our
scripts. Further, Graham clearly states on his page:
"NB: This code is untested against a multi-part form and may need
some more tweaking to actually work"
And just to mention this again: content-transfer-encoding is perfectly
legal, and reasonable. In fact, if the header is not present, a
default transfer encoding is assumed. In practice, some (most) browser
don't seem to use it, when posting multipart/form-data; it seems, that
binary transfer encoding (which is perfectly legal over HTTP) is used
by default.
