Hello,

I notice this bug was reported ages ago (http://silverstripe.org/archive/show/2466), but i'm having the same issue.

When I upload jpeg images, and the extension is in uppercase, the image cannot be viewed (403 Forbidden server error)

Did anyone ever find a fix for this?
If i rename the extension of the uploaded file, it works, so i'm thinking it must be a .htaccess / redirect problem or something - not an upload problem?

example
http://silverstripe.northernlightsdesign.co.uk/assets/Uploads/bike2.JPG
http://silverstripe.northernlightsdesign.co.uk/assets/Uploads/bike.jpg

Ok, just after I posted this, i took another look at the folder, and noticed another .htaccess file in the 'assets' folder

In here, it gives a list of permissible files - so I just had to add JPG into the list.

<FilesMatch "\.(JPG|html|htm|xhtml|js|css|bmp|png|gif|jpg|jpeg|ico|pcx|tif|tiff|au|mid|midi|mpa|mp3|ogg|m4a|ra|wma|wav|cda|avi|mpg|mpeg|asf|wmv|m4v|mov|mkv|mp4|swf|flv|ram|rm|doc|docx|txt|rtf|xls|xlsx|pages|ppt|pptx|pps|csv|cab|arj|tar|zip|zipx|sit|sitx|gz|tgz|bz2|ace|arc|pkg|dmg|hqx|jar|xml|pdf)$">
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>

JPG files are pretty common, so hopefully this fix can help others!

Bless you Jon,
you just saved the day over here.
This really should be rolled in, or handled differently altogether. Maybe automatically lowercasing file extensions extension on upload?
Most of the clients i work for haven't even seen a file extension in their lives.
Thanks a bunch again,
Andi

Legend Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your answer :)

Thanks for sharing.
It would be good if raise a ticket for silverstripe core development team.
Maybe it worthwhile putting the code in their ss package.
