[cgi-prototype-users] CGI::Prototype::Mecha and uploading a file problem

[Potozniak, Andrew]

Fellow CGI::Prototypers:

I have run into a strange problem when using C::P::Mecha.

My prototype page has a form on it which has an input type of 'file' and
the form has an enctype of multipart/form-data.
Now when I upload a file via the web everything works perfectly fine,
but when I try to simulate this with C::P::Mecha it seems that I have to
hit '^C' to get the submission of the file to complete, otherwise the
test script hangs. Now there are other form submissions that I am doing
in my test script that work perfectly with out this intervention.

A couple of thoughts that I have:

Maybe (for some odd reason) ^C causes the upload stream to terminate
thus finishing off the form submission.
There might be some other unknown issue with file uploading with
mech that I'm unaware of.

Here is some sample code:

$m->field('file_name', '/some/file');
$m->click('upload'); #This is where it hangs

Thank you for your help,
~~Andrew
