Ludo, You might want to use a FormFile in your ActionForm bean to make the file easier to deal with. Then, you can do things like this:
1. FormFile.getContentType() and see if it is a MIME type you allow. 2. FormFile.getInputStream() and save it in an ascii, not binary mode. So, binary data would probably be saved corrupted and they'd know it was bad the next time they asked for it not to upload binary data. 3. FormFile.getFileName() and see if it is one of a handful of file extensions you might allow (.html, .txt, etc.) Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 9:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Disable binary files in upload Hi all, I would like to prevent the user from upload binary files from an upload form, but to allow him to download any kind of ascii files. What is the better way to do that? Is it something i can do with the configuration.? Or should I add a test on the "content-type" value received ? Thanks, Ludo.
