Hey Folks, I'm uploading files from my SWF with FileReference and I need to verify the file is acceptable on the server (make sure it is a non progressive JPG) and let the SWF client know if the file was accepted by the server or rejected.
I've been using ColdFusion for this and it has a handy 'accept' attribute for the <cffile> tag where you can specify the mime type to allow. Unfortunately using this attribute breaks the upload (even if the mime type is correct) thanks to a bug in the F8 player. So right now I've been forced to make it a 2 step operation, first upload the file, then on completion the SWF client makes a Flash Remoting call to a service that verifys the file and returns a result depending if the file is acceptable or not. I think it would be excellent if FileReference could accept a response from the server alongside the file upload complete so this could be reduced to a 1 step operation. Can't see how that could be done at the moment though. Anyone out there come up with any elegant solutions for uplaoding and verifying in one? ** WISHLIST It would be cool if the FileReference class could access the file mime type in the SWF.
