Comment 42 for bug 84880

I'm reopening the bug for firefox 16.0.1.

I find it whenever trying to upload files to anagrafericerca.unibo.it. Unfortunately, this is a site with restricted access, so it cannot be used for debugging.

However, when trying to upload a pdf file with firefox, the site responds

 IL TIPO DEL FILE NON PUO' ESSERE ACCETTATO (application/octetstream)
I TIPI ACCETTABILI SONO:

    image/gif
    image/png
    image/x-png
    image/jpeg
    image/pjpeg
    image/pjpeg
    application/pdf
    text/html
    text/plain

which, as you probably imagine, means that the site is refusing the upload, because I'm trying to upload a file with mimetype application/octetstream while the site expexts only the formats listed below.
