I have a cffile upload which accepts only rtf files. The code on the action 
form is:
<cffile action="upload" filefield="Form.file_upload" 
destination="D:\inetpub\wwwroot\etc..." accept="application/rtf">
When I attach an rtf file I get the message:
The MIME type of the uploaded file "application/octet-stream" was not accepted 
by the server. 

Only files of type "application/rtf" can be uploaded. 
Verify that you are uploading a file of the appropriate type. 

The code on the uplolad form itself is:
<head><title>ICTMT-7 Upload File Form</title>
<InvalidTag http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
.......

<cfform action="uploadaction.cfm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Can someone explain what application/octet-stream is and why it appears in the 
error message when it is not included in the accept definitions?

Would be enormously grateful, as ever.
