Cheers. I just added the octet and it worked. Just wondered why it
wouldn't accept it as just flv and had to have both. You'd think that
ADOBE would allow uploads of a mime type they created ... LOL - without
all the other bit ..
This actually has nothing to do with Adobe. The http client is
responsible for sending the correct content type to the server as part
of the posted form data. Your web browser screwed up and sent the wrong
content type to the server.
This is one good reason to avoid ever using the accept attribute of
cffile when uploading.
Another reason to avoid using the accept attribute is that, as far as
I'm aware anyway, it doesn't help secure your file upload scripts.
Seeing as the client is responsible for telling the server the content
type of the posted data, it stands to reason that using the accept
attribute doesn't actually help with security at all. I have to admit
though, that I've never actually tried to circumvent this and it is
possible that CF does some checking of the posted data to make sure that
the content type matches the content (a bit like IE does). All the same,
better safe than sorry IMO.
