MIME type Error

[colesc8]

I have a cffile upload which accepts only rtf files. The code on the action
form is: <cffile action='upload' filefield='Form.file_upload'
destination='D:\inetpub\wwwroot\etc...' accept='application/rtf'> When I attach
an rtf file I get the message: The MIME type of the uploaded file
'application/octet-stream' was not accepted by the server. <br>Only files of
type 'application/rtf' can be uploaded. <br>Verify that you are uploading a
file of the appropriate type. Can someone explain what
application/octet-stream is and why it appears in the error message when it is
not included in the accept definitions? Would be enormously grateful, as ever.

The documentation I was using to do the form was for ColdFUsion 7. I was using
ColdFusion MX. In the accept type I changed from 'application/rtf' to
'text/richtext'. It worked fine. Hope this maybe useful to anyone suffering a
similar problem
