I don't know what your problem might be, but there is nothing wrong with the
file upload on Mac IE5. We use it all the time, in connection with both perl
and php server-side and there is no problem. You do have to make sure the
file you upload is essentially flat (ie no resource fork, since that will be
stripped) but most file formats are flat these days anyway. I'm not sure
about Quark. IE 4.5 should *not* be uploading in MacBinary, so I guess
that's a bug they fixed for 5.0. See if you can upload a gif or a jpeg file
and retrieve it properly. There shouldn't be a problem.
