Safari 3.0/WebKit is known to not send the content-type header for some types of files during a multipart form upload. In any case, you shouldn't trust the content-type as it's a piece of user submitted data. See the note here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/#uploadedfile-objects If you do want to go ahead with this, you can try to guess the file's mime type based on it's name. See Python docs for the relevant API here: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-mimetypes.html If you want to really verify an image file, just open it with the PIL image library and check its format attribute. This will correctly identify the file even if it has a bad extension or no extension (as can happen on Mac OSX systems.) -Rajesh D --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
