[ptt-users] setFile corrupting data on multi-part HTTP POST?

[Frank Cohen]

Hi Aaron: Merci pour votre correspondence.

(I learned French while on vacation at Club Med in the 70's, so it's  
terrible!)

When I look into the multipart posting problem I will also see about  
adding an option to declare the encoding style. That should solve the  
accent characters problem.

Thanks.

-Frank
