On first reading your response, I thought there was a difference between
the code generating the error response and the code I posted. Just to
be sure, I reran the test case and, yes, you are right. The exception
identifies the line just before the manage_addPhoto call. BUT, by
the time the execption is raised Photo has already successfully added
the photograph. I am at a loss to explain the fault. The passed in
REQUEST looks fine if I replace manage_addPhoto with a script the dumps
REQUEST to the screen. The 'the_file' variable is a FileUpload object
as I would expect.
Whatever is going on, it's very repeatable on my system.
Thanks for your help.
