I have a system that allows users to make attachments. I encounter this problem, sometimes when the users are attaching words file (*.doc), the file type I got is not "application/msword" but "application/octet-stream". Is there anything scenario that the
system will not be able to detact the original file type and change it to "octet-stream"?
I wish to know the cause so I can inform my users about this.
