It it's set by the client, yes, of course. http://www.w3.org/TR/device-upload: "Each part of such a submission, representing the value of each input element in the submitted form, is given a Content-Disposition header, which in the case of Content-Disposition: file, may also have a Content-Type header representing the MIME type of the data being uploaded. Files uploaded using the extensions in this draft should include a Content-Type header when the file type is known or can be accurately determined by the client browser." So it depends if CF uses that, or server-side 'magic' instead. The LiveDocs for cffile say "The browser uses file extension to determine file type." which sounds like CF trusts what the browser says. Tsk if so. -- Tom Chiverton **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
