After upgrading to CF10, we are having issues getting our server to properly recognize any mimetype associated with the .xls file extension. For some odd reason, the server is viewing them as a word file type and rejecting it.
When we upload a file with the .xls extension, the server responds back with the following error message:
"The MIME type or the Extension of the uploaded file application/msword was not accepted by the server. Only files of type application/excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/x-excel,applic ation/x-msexcel,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsh eetml.sheet can be uploaded. Verify that you are uploading a file of the appropriate type. The error type is Application."
Our only workaround for the time being is uploading all files in the newer .xlsx format, which the server properly accepts. As you will see from the above error message, those are the mimetypes I have thus far. The other work around is updating the tika jar files which I have included more details in my bug report link below, but that is a solution we are steering off of until we get further confirmation on the solution.
I've reported this possible bug to Adobe, but of course it will be weeks or months before a confirmation or response is made on it since there are countless other bugs / feature requests that are still unanswered. So I'm reaching out to the community in efforts to see if anyone else may have received the same issue or could see what we may be doing wrong.
