Bug #: 38432
Summary: Uploading MS Word files doesn't work ("File extension
does not match the detected MIME type of the file")
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows Server 2008
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Uploading a .doc file to MW 1.19.1 (which, incidentally, isn't listed in the
versions box here), I get the following error:
File extension ".doc" does not match the detected MIME type of the file
(application/zip).
I tried removing "doc" from application/msword in /includes/mime.types and then
also adding it to application/zip (recommended at [1]). The former edit did
nothing; the latter resulted in:
The file is a corrupt or otherwise unreadable ZIP file. It cannot be
properly checked for security.
I tried keeping the above modifications to /includes/mime.types and adding
$wgAllowJavaUploads = true; to LocalSettings.php, as recommended at [2], and
uploading of these files works correctly.
However, this seems pretty hacky. Surely allowing .doc files in
$wgFileExtensions should be enough, and they shouldn't be treated as zip files
or jars or anything?
