File upload: not identified content type.
Hello friends;
I am using commons file upload library to upload files. I have been noticing
some time my library does not get file content type correct. For such a file
it saves *application*/*octet*-*stream. *
Can any body describe how it does happens?
If some of you have known for such a situation. Please share the
information.

AIUI it gets it from the request headers:

Thanks guys;
I am using spring-mvc for my web application. So have been looking in to the
spring lib to get some thing relevant. But sorry to say; I have got no
results.
I think finding with file extension will do and will save me every time.
May be spring lib has some thing to support me; any body can point!

Please validate on client side if file is uploaded and in serverside side
check for extension of file before checking application/octet-stream
if(file!=null){
strFileName = file.getFileName();
stContentType = file.getContentType();
}
if ( strFileName != null && !strFileName.trim().equalsIgnoreCase("")) { //if
filename not null
strExtension=strFileName.substring(strFileName.lastIndexOf(".")+1);
strExtension=strExtension.toUpperCase();
if("application/octet-stream".equalsIgnoreCase(stContentType)
){
/////process///
}
}
