Can you tell me what it's doing?

ugh, you all are lucky to have non-dial up...
it takes me 20+ minutes just to upload a simfile, and i usually can't do anything during that tim or the file will be corrupt-
i assume that's just my connection?

i tried it again still doesn't work and my internet is fine.

I'm getting the problem right now. I used WinRAR at first, and it recognized it as the octet-stream MIME type.

But then I used Windows' Compressed ZIP thing and it still gave me the same exact thing.

Firefox on Windows XP. Keith, should I email the file to you or is it just the server that hates WinRAR? :/

having same problem except for me it says "You uploaded: application/x-download"...

i'm using Winrar, tried rezipping, and reuploading several times, isn't working.

What browser and OS are you guys using. Please email the file to keith@bemanistyle.com

Alright, it's been uploaded.

Couldn't you check for extension rather than MIME type? It'd be so much easier and eliminate all these problems.

***Keith*** · 06-27-2006, 04:44 PM

I've been thinking about it for a couple weeks and I'm probably going to end up doing that.

I think an if(indexOf(???)==-1) {alert("NOT A ZIP")} script would work fine, just to check if it was a .zip file. It's not like it'd be possible to fool it.

Well I would rather check it with the PHP script, not with javascript; since some one could just turn Javascript off. I know how to check it, I've done it with a couple other websites, I just haven't done it yet.

well i am using firefox and it keeps telling me
Only application/x-zip-compressed or application/zip or multipart/x-zip files may be uploaded. You uploaded: application/force-download
plz i want tokens

Oh. Well, then, I guess I'll just have to wait until then.

There's gotta be a way to embed JavaScript that it doesn't allow to be disabled... :/

Minor problem. Okay, I think until then. By the way, is there anything you can do with what I actually emailed you? Like, upload it and change it to my name or something? Although I don't think that's within the capabilities of an admin. Just asking.

No, there isn't. If there was, the page would crash on machines that don't have Java installed, which is why almost everything on this site is server-side processing. That way, the site is compatible with more browsers, and configurations.

It seems there is too many MIME restrictions that the previous site didn't have.... maybe these restrictions should be removed, or at least the ones that we are trying added to the whitelist...
