Having some intermitent trouble with file attachments to articles on News 1.44.

Sometimes they attach to an article, sometimes they fail.

Using the insanity approach - trying the same attachment over and over expecting success - sometimes does work, but alas not today.

Intallation is:
Xoops 2.0.13.2 (an upgrade to 2.0.16 is on the to do list, just not this week....)
News 1.44

Not a file size issue, have max file size set to 5Mb (5048576)
Not a server disk allocation issue (170MB available)

Error message on failure to attach is:
Error while uploading the file
Errors Returned While Uploading
Unknown filetype rejected
MIME type not allowed: application/pdf
Thanks for your submission.

(At least we're polite...)

Attachment is just a plain ol' 81K PDF and we've been able to attach PDFs to other News articles.

Any ideas how to check/adjust New's allowed file types?

Hey, I figured it out!

It appears that MIME types are case sensitive.

I renamed the to-be-attached file to *.pdf from *.PDF and it worked.

And thanks to tvook and this thread I found this info:

Should be able to add PDF (all caps) as an allowed MIME type.

Does this make sense?
