Summary: CGI: multipart forms, image buttons, and MSIE Mac OS X

Initial Comment:
If you have a receiving a POST from a form with image buttons, you're supposed to be able to find out which image which was clicked by the user. But I find that if I have a multipart form with image buttons, and the user is using MSIE Mac OS X, that information cannot be retrieved.

Here's the form I wrote:

<form action="/test/upload.rb" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
 <input name="text" />
 <br />Small: <input type="file" name="small" />
 <br /><input type="image" src="/baseims/submit_button.gif"
name="button" />
</form>

And here's the receiving script I wrote:

puts "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
cgi = CGI.new
puts "<br />text: #{ cgi['text'].readlines.join( "\n" ) }"
puts "<br />button.x: #{ cgi['button.x'].readlines.join( "\n" ) }"
puts "<br />button.y: #{ cgi['button.y'].readlines.join( "\n" ) }"
puts "<br />button: #{ cgi['button'].readlines.join( "\n" ) }"

This works in Safari on OS X, but not MSIE. I also tried a similar PHP script and had no problems.

Another email test... this should _not_ result in an email to ruby-core... but will it?
