The default object type generated for "text/html", "text/xml" or
"text/plain" is a "DTMLDocument" (and not a "File" object as you might
except).

The "__str__" method of "DTMLDocument" performs HTML escaping.
That's why '"' may appear as """.


You can install your own "PUT_factory" (search the mailing list archives
for details) to control the type of object created during various
types of uploads.
