Hi Don,
The mime type of the file is determined by the browser (client side), and
then sent in the HTTP request to upload the file. ColdFusion uses the same
mime type sent by the browser in cffile. So it sounds like the accept
attribute of cffile is causing this exception to be thrown.
Try adding this mime type to the cffile accept attribute list, and then make
sure you are validating the file extension of the uploaded file to be doc or
docx.

Hi Folks =)
Trying to upload a file ( word doc ) that is concurrently OPEN in the OS.
Upon upload attempt via cffile coldfusion is seemingly returning a mime
type error:
The MIME type of the uploaded file application/octet-stream was not
accepted by the server.
is there a way to prevent (open) files from being uploaded?
how would I ignore/bypass this error so as to actually upload the original
file?
