I just tried it, here is what CF does....
CF looks at the file extension and determines if the files is a string
or not. It's a little weird, get this:
1) if the file is a .htm .cfm .txt it WILL dump the text from the file
into the attributes scoped variable
2) if the file is not one of those extensions above or contains binary
information like a .gif or .jpg CF just sets the value of the client
side filename like this:
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\pizzapizza.tmp
Which isn't very useful, but it also shows that it doesn't affect
anything.
Regardless it doesn't seem to have any performance hit from doing this
because the form variable already exists with this data, all we're doing
is copying it from a form scope to an attributes scope variable.
