[Zope] Images and uploading

[Harald Scheirich]

What might help in your case is the ExtFile/ExtImage product.

It deposits binaries in a directory on the server but also creates 
Zope objects to access that file. It uses the Python Imaging Library 
for the handling of Images.

I assume PIL does not use file endings but header info from the files 
to detect the filetype you probably still need to actually create the 
object to do some checking or subclass ExtImage in Python to provide 
some more error checking .
