CFFILE application/octet-stream

[peter11]

I get the following error message when I try to load a Word document that is currently open on my computer. Is there a way to avoid this ( without closing out of the word document)?

The MIME type of the uploaded file (application/octet-stream) was not accepted by the server. Please verify that you are uploading a file of the appropriate type

What are you doing, cffile action=upload? Can you post the whole tag? And what do you mean by saying the file is still open? You are viewing the word doc while simultaneously trying to upload it to a cfm form? If so, I suspect that won't work because the file will be locked while you have it open.

That is the case, trying to upload while simultaniously viewing it. I could swear that I have done this in other programs, like when you attach a file to an email.

Is there a way to catch this with javascript protection or something else.
