[Zope] Check uploaded file for valid contents

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Andreas,

the most simple approach is
to limit this a bit in the HTML Form:

<input type="file" name="Name" accept="application/pdf">

This would only show pdf-documents in the file requester.

Then again you can use the file-object in the form
and validate it before passing to
manage_addFile()

Regards
Tino
