Uploading File using a custom menu item CGI

Mashuk

Hi,

I have a custom menu item utility which allows me to upload an excel spreadsheet into the TeamSite server. The general gist of the CGI is that it uploads the spreadsheet and parses it and creates a dcr and a generated file. All was working fine until there was a requirement to ensure that each file generated by the this upload utility was owned by the user who uploaded it rather than iwui.

To ensure that the cms user owns the file, I used the iw_cgi_wrapper in the form action like:
<form name="fileuploadform" id="fileuploadform" action="/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/uploadFile.cgi" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

After including the iw_cgi_wrapper the cgi form does not upload the file to the /tmp area when the form is posted. The user does have permission to write to the /tmp directory. When the form is posted, nothing is processed.
To do some debugging I took out the encoding type enctype="multipart/form-data". However by doing this the cgi does proceed but the file does not get uploaded into /tmp and the cgi script raises an error. Has anyone come across such a scenario before?

Thanks

yes, i saw this before. The script that I know of, wraps itself only when needed, during one of CGI calls to itself. but does not impersonate when uploads to tmp.
