Dropzone and Laravel - some JPGs fail to upload
Hey!
I've got a local installation of Laravel and I am using dropzone to upload images to the application.
However, some of the JPGs fail to upload.
The requests for the images that works has a mime-type of 'mimeType' => 'image/jpeg', while those that fail have 'mimeType' => 'application/octet-stream'. Yet they are all jpgs. I get a 422 response for the failed uploads.
All images from unsplash.com fail.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance,

Hey Teapot
Could you check out the file extensions of the failed uploads? I run into same problems because the extension were uppercase.

Hi!
One of the failing images have .JPG, but two other failing images have .jpg so I don't think that is the problem.
The only thing the failing images have in common is that the 'mimeType' => 'application/octet-stream' in the post request.

I removed the "required" validation from the controller, now I get a FileNotFoundException when I upload the failing images. This happens with postman as well so I can rule out and any problems with dropzone.
All the failing files have a size > 2MB. A file with size 2MB is successfully uploaded.

This post may help, which seems to indicate that increasing the upload_max_filesize fixes it.

The upload_max_filesize in the php.ini was indeed causing these issues. Weird that the mime-type was changed when I echoed back the request.
I hope someone will search and find this thread if they have the same problem =)

@FABRICECW - Did you ever work out why the uppercase file extension was causing an issue?
