   Hi there,

   I met some problems when using IE to upload files on user upload page.

   First, the layout of user upload page seems not correct with 2 file browser button(1 is useless)

   Next, the HTTP POST header will be mixed into the user input or the video files. As for the former, it will cause a upload failure like 502 error. While for the latter, the upload will succeed but the the video is broken cause it has some extra bytes at the beginning of the file header(like "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n")

   Sometimes Safari will have the same problem too. But Chrome is always fine. I guess it has something related with browser.

   Does anybody know the answer to the problem?

   Thanks,
   Flora

   Honestly I don't really understand the problem you describe.

   > the HTTP POST header will be mixed into the user input or the video files

   Just to be sure: You say that the uploaded file contains some bytes from the HTTP request in clear text? Which storage engine do you use? Which version of IE?

   I've never seen something like this before, very mysterious...

   Thank you for your reply.

   Yes, the uploaded file contains some bytes from the HTTP request. And sometimes even the other form(like video title or description) will contain the extra bytes, which leads to an upload failure.

   It is local file storage with IE8/9. Actually, the layout is already abnormal with 2 file browser buttons.

   Strange, that doesn't happen for me. Which OS do you run MediaCore on?

   Ubuntu 11.04.
   Do you have any idea about it?

   No real idea. However I'd advise using a network sniffer (e.g. wireshark, tcpdump) or Web Inspector (Safari) to see what your browser actually sends to the server. I'd like to see the first lines of the HTTP POST request.
