The problem here really has nothing to do with file types. The problem is with the Mac IE 5 browser. When using this browser, when you post a multipart form (such as when uploading a file), the browser adds a carriage return to the end of every field value. This is quite a pain when dealing with text values [use Trim()], and gets worse with files. Most files don't really care if the extra 2 bytes are there, but if your app does a checksum when opening the file - such as Stuffit files and FileMaker Pro databases, those extra bytes will make the app think the file is corrupt.
Someone made a Java custom tag that deals with this very well - CFX_StripBytes. Basically it just strips the CR from the file. I got it in the dev exchange. if you can't find it, just email me and i'll send it to you. One thing to note though - if your files are very large then you'll need to up the Max Heap Size for the JVM in the CF admin settings (CF5). . . . .. . . . joe ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
