Problem: Invalid content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

[Karolus]

I am running the code  below, but get the error "Invalid content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded."   I don't know what this is telling me and how I can get the code to work.  It has worked in the past, but seems not to work now.

<CFFILE destination="#WritingSamplesInDirectory#"
        action="upload"
        nameconflict="MakeUnique"
        filefield="FileName"
        attribues="readONLY">

Any help greatly appreciated

You need to change your form's encoding to "multipart/form-data":

<form ... enctype="multipart/form-data">

There are three types of encoding format.  1. application/x-www-form-urlencoded     This is the default encoding format among HTTP requests.   2. multipart/form-data  3. text/plain For file upload , you have specify the enctype attribute of the form tag should be multipart/form-data .
