CFFILE filter for .asf files

[ketankshah]

I want to restrict users to upload only .asf files (Windows Media Player files) through CFFILE tag. What value should I use in the "accept" parameter so that user will not be able to upload files with any other extension.?

Thanks

Ketan

You have a few options, you can either find it out there somewhere (see

http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=MIME+type&hc=0&hs=4

for a few sites) or see what MIME type your computer is using to associate those files with your application, or you can test it.

To test, get a .asf file and upload it. When you manipulate it also print out

#FILE.ContentType#

. This tells you the MIME type of the file you just uploaded.

Be warned, different browsers on different operating systems (especially check on a Mac) will upload with different MIME types. Some completely standard browsers will also sometimes not send the MIME type with the upload, so make sure you're prepared for that. You really need to check a lot of configurations to make sure you catch all of them. Good luck!
