Hi,

Request.Files.Count is 1 and 0, any idea what is wrong ?

Assuming that the 2nd example is the broken one...

  1. Change the host in the first example to localhost and make sure it still works and therefore eliminate hosting differences.
  2. Verify your typing - make sure of things like the filename being "Lighthouse" and not "lighthouse" etc.
  3. Remove the extra bits that aren't in the first example (Accept-Language etc.) and make sure it works without them.
  4. Add the extras back ONE AT A TIME until it breaks and cure THAT problem before proceeding.
  5. Repeat step 4 until you have replaced all the extras removed in step 3.
