That's because HTTP isn't involved at this point... it's only UI widgets which should be expected to do the right thing.

Can you confirm that the Content-Type of the form is being submitted with the request properly (as an HTTP header) and that the Request object on the server-side correctly reads the Content-Type header? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGXZPR9CaO5/Lv0PARAlvvAJ4iHRcg4kJC6YWKdyz2LiIlorjcTwCguMx/ pUbXMsYozx1hour7n3fudOs= =Qb9t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
