Hi All,

Now that I've got file upload working, does anyone know if it's possible 
to set the Content-Type to anything but the default of 
application/octet-stream?  (Why Have Adobe done that?!)

I've been using a PHP script to put files into mySQL tables and I always 
used to query the data in the POST for it's mime-type
 $fileType = $_FILES['fileData']['type'];
and then use it when I fetched the file from the table so that the 
browser would know what to do with it - now I can't do that and all 
files will be treated the same.   :-(

Any ideas?  (I'm guessing I'll just have to use the full filename to 
"guess" the mimetype (e.g. if (*.jpg||*.jpeg) 
{mime="image/jpeg"}else{mime might be "image/jpeg" but who knows}) since 
everything apart from Mac files don't have a creator property)

Cheers,

Phil
