xml upload mimetype error with IE8. - El Forum - 02-19-2010

Hi all,

Came across this bug/problem today when trying to upload XML files using the CI Upload lib.

Seems everything <i>other</i> than IE8 is ok...

My controller:

Code:
$config['allowed_types'] = 'xml';

$config['overwrite'] = TRUE;

$config['max_size'] = 1000;

$this->load->library('upload', $config);

application/config/mimes.php << default that comes with CI 1.7.2, also the same in the SVN trunk

Code:
'xml'    =>    'text/xml',

uploading a test.xml file in IE8 gives a filetype not allowed error.

a print_r of $_FILES shows this:

Code:
Array

(

    [userfile] => Array

        (

            [name] => test.xml

            [type] => application/octet-stream

            [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpdz5MCS

            [error] => 0

            [size] => 407

        )

)

as opposed to this in anything other than IE8:

Code:
Array

(

    [userfile] => Array

        (

            [name] => test.xml

            [type] => text/xml

            [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpz6dUY7

            [error] => 0

            [size] => 407

        )

)

Note the difference in the 'type' element... fix is simple enough:

application/config/mimes.php

Code:
'xml'    =>    array('text/xml', 'application/octet-stream'),

Odd one that... would appreciate someone else having a go if they could... if anything just to prove that I'm not going mad.
