303933 - file handling type error on php upload

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[slimpy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux) KHTML/3.4.0 (like Gecko)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/1.0.6

I have a php uploader that only allows public to upload "text/plain" files.    
The code is:    
   
if($fupload_type != "text/plain"){   
   echo "text files only!"  
   exit();  
} else { 
   echo "upload successful!" 
} 
  
from firefox 1.0.6 on windoz xp "text files only!" is always displayed, even  
though an "echo $fupload_type" produces "text/plain".  
  
This works fine in firefox on Linux.  
  
And also works fine on internet explorer.  
  
I had to use alternative code:  
  
if(substr($fupload_name, -3, 3) != "txt")...  
  
to get windoz firefox to work appropriately.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  build an uploader using code listed above  
2.  upload a text file 
3.  see that it doesn't work 
  
Actual Results:  
"text files only!" 

Expected Results:  
"upload successful!"

Using the newer $_FILES array works fine.

If it's not a Firefox bug, it's INVALID, not FIXED :)
