Your system doesn't detect MIME types properly, so the class has to rely on the information the browser gives. It also looks like the file is uploaded via Flash, which results in the MIME type sent by the browser to be application/force-download

Make sure that your system can detect MIME types properly, or that your browser sends the right MIME type. Note that I am not supporting the use of the class on Windows systems.Reply

I'm not using flash, and at the time the log was generated I was using Firefox 3.0.15. Is there a specific version of Linux required?Reply

No, no specific version of Linux is requeired. You can run the class fine on Windows too, as long as at least one of the MIME detection method is enabled. Check out the relevant PECL modules.Reply
