Frederic,

The keyword argument "file" is somewhat misnamed. It should really be called
"fileContents".

I don't know in what context you are using this code but this may clear up
your problem:

Part of the magic that sucks the file out of your computer whenever you use
the browse button to upload the file is provided by the <FORM> tag. Make
sure your tag has the following syntax:

<FORM ... enctype="multipart/form-data"...>

if you do not include this on the tag, the browser will send only the name
of the file to Zope when you use an <input type="file"> tag. If enctype is
specified as shown above, then you will get the contents of the file in
whatever cgi variable you named in your <input> tag.

If you explain why you are calling manage_addDTMLDocument I could be more
helpful.
