A couple of weeks ago, there was a discussion on comp.infosystems.www
whether file input is considered to be useful/needed in the POST type
of forms submission. The thread died with the message that it were on the
drawing board.
[Q]
I need to create a html file which requests file input from a client.
I.e., the mosaic/lynx/whatever client should open a file browser on the
local system and the selected file is to be transmitted as file to the
server.
[hack]
cut-and-paste with freetext forms input has severe limitations and is
difficult to achieve with (very) large input (talking > 1000 bytes here).
[A]
? Has anyone tried at NCSA, CERN or elsewhere to implement this feature ?
Biologists would very much appreciate this. Thanks for replies in advance!
