In an attempt to provide some more useful information, here's the output of
mechanize.

Here's the webserver's exact response.

I don't know much about what's going on behind the scenes here, but the onl=
y
thing apparent to me is the lack of anything related to the FileUpload in
the query hash.  Again, let me reiterate, I'm not sure what is going on
behind the scenes, so that could be expected.

I'm going to keep hacking away as soon as I get home tonight, so I'll post
an update if I get anywhere.

Thanks,
