File Input Box Bug #143220: Path is not submitted

The file input form field allows the user to select a file on his computer and depending on the enctype either the file is uploaded or only the pathname of the file is transferred.

This page contains a form including a file input box. The form is submitted using a GET request, i.e. the CGI parameters will appear in the URL bar. The enctype is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded, i.e. the filename should be sent, not the file.

To exhibit this Mozilla bug, browse your file system, choose a file, submit the form and check the value of the parameter path. It will only contain the filename that you've choosen but not the path to it.
