hmm.. did you pass the type as data:<type>?

It appears that files you upload are instances of the FileUpload class
(lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py)

You'll need to call .read() on these objects that are passed to you to get
the full text.

I'm assuming that through the magic of DTML they must get interpreted as
strings when you use them in a #var statement for example.

Hope this helps,
