mime.type - Argument

João Silva

Hi,

anyone knows how to use mime.type in this function ?

client.upload.file( string destination, [ ref string client.filename,
ref string mime.type ] )

I would like to show just csv files and always shows all files. I have tried "text/csv", "application/csv" and does not work.

Regards.

Hi João,

I think that the 'mime.type' argument for the client.upload.file() function only controls how the file is transferred to the server. If it is 'text/plain', conversion of CRLF characters is done. All other file types are copied in binary mode.

What you are looking for can be done with the undocumented function client.upload.files.with.filter().

	#include <bic_desktop>

function main()
{
			string		l.file.temp.path(1000)
			string		l.mime.type(1000)
			long		l.file.id
			long		l.number.of.files
			long		l.counter

	l.mime.type = "text/csv"

	|* Handle the file dialog and the upload.
	
	l.file.id = client.upload.files.with.filter(	bse.tmp.dir$(),
							l.mime.type)	|* ref

	|* Get information about the uploaded files.

	l.number.of.files = client.get.upload.filecount(l.file.id)
	
	for l.counter = 1 to l.number.of.files		
		l.file.temp.path = client.get.upload.file(	l.file.id,
								l.counter)
	endfor
}

Yours,
Stephan
