Firefox 5 - Upload allowed_types no longer working properly - El Forum - 06-24-2011

Hi all,
I've just upgraded my Firefox to v5 and now the upload validation is no longer working properly.
Code:
$config['allowed_types'] = 'html|zip';When trying to upload a ZIP file I get the following error:
"The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed."
This was working in Firefox 4. I also tried to use Safari and that works like it should.
How is this possible?
Kind regards,
Philo

Maybe you need to add a new user_agent for FireFox 5.

It's possible because the mime type that CI validates against is the one generated by the browser.
You can disable allowed_types, use $this->upload->data() to see what mime type CI is getting, and add it to config/mimes.php

FF 5.0 sees the type as application/x-download whereas IE/FF 4.x see it as application/x-zip-compressed
I fixed it by modifying my mime types in config/mimes.php.
'zip' => array('application/x-zip', 'application/zip', 'application/x-zip-compressed', 'application/x-download','application/download'),
