Jan Haderka updated MAGNOLIA-2702:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.3.x
(was: 4.3.2)
> Unknown File Extensions Should Be Treated as Binary Files
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAGNOLIA-2702
> URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-2702
> Project: Magnolia
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.6.5
> Reporter: Sean McMains
> Assignee: Philipp Bärfuss
> Fix For: 4.3.x
>
> Attachments: defaultMime.patch
>
>
> When mapping MIME types, there are generally 3 cases to be accounted for:
> # File Extensions that are listed in the MIME Mapping Configuration
> # File Extensions that are *not* listed in the MIME Mapping Configuration
> # Paths without a file extension
> Currently, in instance #2, the response is returned as *text/html*. As a
> result, if a user uploads a file of a type that Magnolia doesn't know about,
> the binary content will get dumped directly into the browser window. (This
> happened for us recently when a site manager uploaded an M4A file, one of the
> music file formats iTunes supports.) We were able to correct the problem by
> adding the appropriate MIME type definition to Magnolia's configuration, but
> it was clear that it would have been far more helpful for Magnolia to treat
> it as a binary file when it didn't know what the content was.
> Here's a patch that, in instance #2, will return a MIME type of
> "application/octet-stream" instead of "text/html". Instance #1 and #3 will be
> unaffected.
