Good morning,
I am hoping someone can help out with this issue. I have a basic form that uploads a file:
SubmitOn submit I receive the following error: JSON serialization failure: Unable to serialize binary data to JSON
I am using CF 11.
Any ideas?
Stack trace, please?

Thanks for the stacktrace. It appears to be happening inside a core ColdBox class, and unfortunately I don’t use ColdBox so that’s not of much help to me, but hopefully one of the CB folks will be along shortly and will be able to help out.
Thank you for trying!
Thanks for trying!
Seems you have a logger trying to log the binary incoming data. in the main handler. Check that

Can you show us line 30 of your Main.cfc handler, which is your ONREQUESTSTART() method? It looks like you have some debug logging that’s trying to log the form scope or the uploaded file. The error is LogBox trying to serialize binary data which I assume is the uploaded file.
Thanks!

Thank worked! I installed the RelaxURL module which is where that came from. Thanks! Ill just add a check to skip files.
PS - Love the responsiveness of this group. Definitely looking forward to scheduling a training with you once I can get the PO approved.
YAY! I knew Brad or Luis would be by soon, especially after I posted. Brad has a special alert attached to my name so that he can follow up and clean up my messes. 
It’s a special phone on my desk with a flashing red light. Been going off all morning!
Thanks!
