problem in file upload while using Internet Explorer

Question

I have developed a web application that uploads the file from client machine to server. it works well with Firefox and Apple Safari browser but when i try it with Internet Explorer,it sends only the boundary.I have set EncType as multipart/form-data.i am using servlet to receive the file. But file sent by IE does not received at servlet only boundary is received. How can I solve this?

Answer 1

working sample to upload file from JSP Servlet
compare it with your code and try to find out where you messed up.

Answer 2

There seems to be a problem loading large CSS-files in IE6 and IE7. Maybe there is something related to this?

Which version are you using and how large is the file?

(Why can't I comment TS?)

Answer 3

You should not homegrow a multipart/form-data parser. Rather pick a robust, thoroughly developed and well maintained library like Apache Commons FileUpload. You can find a kickoff example in this answer.
