HAP Error - you have attempted to upload a restricted file type!

[gomalley]

I have a strange one for a Monday morning, a member of staff got the attached error - "you have attempted to upload a restricted file type!" when adding a .jpg to a Shared drive, I have tested as the same type of user and it works fine for me, so not sure why it would not for her.

Can you do some http://www.edugeek.net/forums/home-access-plus/86059-hap-json-debugging.html please, see what it's doing

[gomalley]

I will do, if I can replicate the fault, which I can't currently!

Will see if I can reproduce on the same PC as it occurred on.

Thanks

Hi. I know this is a bit old now, but recently had a similar problem. Turned out that it was caused by capitalisation of the file extension. JPG instead of jpg.

[nickbro]

Thanks for the info mitchell, I'll add some stuff to make the extension lowercase when doing the checks

[gomalley]

Thanks Mitchell for finding the cause and Nick for working on a solution, is there somewhere I can enter .JPG as allowed as a fix in the meantime?

Many Thanks

Guy

Add it as a allowed file type should do it. v9 is due out on Friday
