Re: [DIYbio] Re: Standardized DIYbio report format? WAS: Endophyte isolation and first successful sequencing

I was really just testing the uploader... I didn't know an .exe would
cause an error, but you should be restricting the selectable filetypes
in HTML, again checking on the server side, and returning a better
error than 500 if an upload error does occur (i.e. "the upload was
corrupted, your file was malformed, or our server has a bug")! Also
listing out the acceptable file types to the user would be a
no-brainer.
