           Summary: Special:Upload isn't normalizing spaces in file
                    extension correctly
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Uploading
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Try uploading a file with a space in its extension:

1) Go to Special:Upload
2) Pick some .jpg file
3) Change the destination filename field to end in ". jpg" (note space between
. and jpg)
4) Submit!

It should translate the " " to "_" immediately, then reject the file as a whole
as "._jpg" is not recognized.

However, it seems to be allowing the upload through; file type is detected
using the trimmed "jpg" form, but the web server of course doesn't know "._jpg"
and serves it as a binary file which causes confusion.
