Is it possible that the server I am hosting my site on doesn't have the csv mime type registered? It's the one thing I haven't tried yet.
BTW the computer I am on is CF5 Win2K IIS -----Original Message----- From: Bryan F.

I think that "application/octet-stream" is for unknown mimes. Would this be a bug in MX? ============================================ Bryan F.

On my server (CF4.5/W2K), cffile.contenttype and cffile.contentsubtype show "application" and "octet-stream" when I upload a .csv file. Hmmm.

None of the accept types I have tried already seem to work...and i've tried just about every combination (text/x-csv, text/csv, application/csv, application/csv, application/msexcel, application/excel, application/x-msexcel, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/x-excel) I'm able to upload excel files perfectly using application/vnd.ms-excel as the accept value but just can't seem to get csv to work. The only thing I can think of is that the host I have my website located on doesn't have .csv in the registry as a mime type. -Brian -----Original Message----- From: Mosh Teitelbaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 2:27 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: MIME type question Just out of curiosity, what does "doesn't work" mean in your context? What are you trying to do? I'm assuming you're trying to place the mime-type in the ACCEPT attribute. Are you trying to accept CSV but deny MS Excel format? -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Ferrigno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 12:42 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: MIME type question > > > That doesn't work either. > > I'm using this list for starters: > ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types.
