When uploading a file (jpeg) via a form in IE7 I am seeing a mime-type of "image/pjpeg" instead of "image/jpeg" (as I see in Firefox or similar). It's easy enough to work around this problem, but I'm just wondering why IE7 is behaving differently in this case?
A PJPEG file is a bitmap image created in the Progressive JPEG format (PJPEG). It contains encoded bitmap data so that the downloaded image appears progressively from a blurry picture to the final sharp image. PJPEG files may also fill alternating horizontal lines until the full picture is revealed.
You should use image/jpeg . Only image/jpeg is recognised as the actual mime type for JPEG files.
I believe it's because the JPEG you're working with is a progressive JPEG, which has a different mime-type.
