Still no use. Python still hangs. [ was : file upload problem ]

[Sindh]

Hi folks

I tried both methods found in cgiupload.py. It still does not work for
me. My setup is :

[1] In the html file with form the header is like

<form method="post" action="cgi-bin/odyssey.py" name="mainform"
enctype="multipart/form-data">


[2] the part of form sending files is like following :
<input type="file" name="file1">
<input type="file" name="file2"> ...

[3] The cgi script has a section like


def fup(x):
    if fs.has_key(x):
        fname=fs[x]
        if fname.file:
            if fname.filename:
                fnumber=util.getcounter()
                fnamelst=string.split(fname.filename,'.')
                fout=imgroot+str(fnumber)+'.'+fnamelst[len(fnamelst)-1]
                print fout
                sys.stderr.write("hello thereeeeeeeeeeee")
                f=open(fout,"wb")
                while 1:
                    line=fs[x].file.readline()
                    if line:
                        f.write(line)
                    else:
                        break
                f.close()
                return fout


I also tried   f.write(fs[x].value)

Every time , if this is a text mode file it writes without any problem.
If this is a image/binary mode , it hangs. The apache error log does not
have any entries in it. After a long time netscape closes the connection
complaining that it has timedout. At that time cgi script writes the
image / binary file but it is always 4 bytes long.

Can any of you make any sense of this whole mess. If you would like the
whole script I would mail it to you. My email it skodela at hotmail.com

Thanks
