Hi all, I've progressed on with LocalFS and feel comfortable with it, but Im having difficulties with uploading images. I really need to get the content_type attribute of the image, so I can store in the dbms with its record what file extension it is... I thought of querying the getProperty of the REQUEST stream, but it doesnt seem to work the way I expected. What happens with: Case A) <dtml-call expr="LinkImgMnt[_.str(SESSION['key2'])].manage_upload(id=_.string.replace(ltitle,' ','+'), file=REQUEST['image'])"> <br><font class="text2"><dtml-var "LinkImgMnt[_.str(SESSION['key2'])][_.string.replace(ltitle,' ','+')].getProperty('content_type')"></font> Case B) <dtml-call expr="LinkImgMnt[_.str(SESSION['key2'])].manage_upload(id=_.string.replace(ltitle,' ','+') + '.jpg', file=REQUEST['image'])"> <br><font class="text2"><dtml-var "LinkImgMnt[_.str(SESSION['key2'])][_.string.replace(ltitle,' ','+') + '.jpg'].getProperty('content_type')"></font> So, obviously LinkImgMnt is the LocalFS mount. and I need to give the names of the files + for whitespace. The vars after that is my test. Case A) I try to query the content type of the file AFTER I've deposited it. But I note that without providing the extension in the manage_upload, I get application/octet-stream. Which is totally acceptable and proof of working, but not desired outcome. Its a GIF that went through _image_. Case B) Doing the same thing, only appending .jpg to the id, I get the right answer back... at least, I get AN answer. But since _image_ is a gif, then obviously Im jury rigging it to give me what I asked for... So the question is, how do I get an attribute of an object while its still masquerading in the REQUEST as an upload instance....? Other reasons being is that on my old system, (its a link databse) hackers tried to upload .exe's thinking they could get a server-side trojan running, so I provide some kind of error checking.... Help much appreciated... Paz
