Ok I did the following: in my url I call the manage_addFile like this: <a href="http://my.server.com:8080/test/manage_addFile?id=myZope.pdf&file=/usr/exchange/my.pdf">LINK</a> but in this case Zope insert the Path information '/usr/exchange/my.pdf' ...and not the file itself. I quit sure this is stupid mistake ... "<a href..>" following results is a "GET" request.
You must use a POST request. Its "Content-Type" must be "multipart/form-data" and you must send the file content and not its name. This is best done with a higher level tool, such a "ZPublisher.Client", than by hand. In HTML, you can get this with a <form method=POST enctype="multipart/form-data" action="...manage_addFile"> ... <input type=file name=file> ... </form> For security reasons, the browser will not allow you to preset the file name but your user must select the file with a file dialog. You might (I do not know) be able to work around this with Javascript. Dieter
