Hi, I added a bug report for tomcat 3.2 (#536). The "How to reproduce" field wasn't added to the report from the form and I haven't found a way to add it from the browser. So here are some additional hints: The error occurs, cause I'm using ServletInputStream.read(byte[] b, int off, int len), not ServletInputStream.readLine. The read method is inherited from java.io.InputStream and the code of Ajp13ConnectorRequest.doRead returns, when there is #FF (= -1) in the file (the byte value is casted to int and compared to -1 ???). So it fails every time a file with a #FF is uploaded. I commented out the check against -1 in doRead and I have no problems now. Bye, Hans --- Dipl.-Inf.
