           Summary: form encoding ignored and incorrectly specified in
                    request header
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://carsten.orthbandt.de/formtest.html
        OS/Version: Windows Server 2003
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: carsten.orthbandt at gmail.com


Set up a HTML form like this:

                <form action="" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
                        test1:<input name="test1" size="10">
                        test2:<input name="test2" size="10">
                        <input type="submit">
                </form>

The request header will say:
Content-Type: text/plain; boundary=
but the actual content is encoded as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

It's bad enough that the form enctype parameter is more or less ignored, but
specifying a different encoding in the header than is used in the body is a
serious problem.

Yes, I can change my forms not to use "text/plain". But it's still a bug.
