Questioning MIME type restriction
disabling MIME type detection altogether is bad
I challenge this: why?
If this is a matter of security, then admins can already place any exploit they want, by circumeventing the wiki software or the server itself. At least let admins upload arbitrary files.
There are legitimate uses for arbitrary files: we can't predict what software will get used for KH in the future and what MIME types it requires. Dorota (talk) 11:51, 29 October 2024 (CET)
- Hey, I extended the MIME type detection per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MIME_type_detection which was a single line:
$mime->addExtraTypes( 'application/json excalidraw' );- Since extending type detection is relatively trivial, for now I am going to defer to the wisdom of the mediawiki devs and keep detection in place. I will respond ASAP to MIME type extension requests, how does that sound? Doug (talk) 18:44, 5 December 2024 (CET)
