Question

I’ve a custom webserver which parses HTTP requests including multipart-form data.

In case of following, things are good:

<FORM method = "POST" action = "#" enctype multipart form-data multiple>
<INPUT type = "file"/>
<INPUT type = "submit"/>
</FORM>  

The above HTML sends request which look like:

POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.2:8888
User-Agent: Shockwave Flash
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache
Accept: text/*
Content-Length: 884
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----------------------------1193f8fd031d

----------------------------1193f8fd031d

img 2

----------------------------1193f8fd031d--

In case I use uploadify as per its docs, I donot get similar HTTP request at the backend.

How can I view HTTP request which uploadify sends?

On the server you can install Wireshark or try using fiddler on the client-side to view the HTTP communication.
