[02/03] Retrieve An XML File From HTTP POST

[mendhak]

Request.Files, that was it!!

I knew there was something I was forgetting, but this was from long ago. Anyways, to test your code, you will need to set the enctype in your <form> tag.

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" 

action="http://example.com/yourfile.aspx">
<input type="file" name="file1" id="file1" />
<br/>
<input type="file" name="file2" id="file2" />
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Go" id="Go" name="Go" />
</form>

Without it, Request.Files won't work. I suppose it'd be worth having a word with them to ensure that the encoding type is indeed multipart/form-data.

Hi, I don't fully understand!! (it's 11pm on Friday night!!!)
If I use <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="http://example.com/yourfile.aspx"> on Page1 (sender page), do I need to include the enctype="multipart/form-data" on Page2 (catcher page) as well? I tried something very similar to this last night but it didn't seem to call Page2. I know that there were some pedantics about removing the runat=server attribute from the form tag etc.
Sorry for the extra questions, but as they say over here "fair exchange is no robbery" (taking credit for the request.files!!)
