Summary: Upload of MIDI file erroneously rejected
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Uploading the MIDI file at http://mbednarek.com/temp/maidensprayer.mid results
in the error message: "This file contains HTML or script code that may be
erroneously interpreted by a web browser."
According to user Splarka at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&oldid=315675310#Upload_MIDI
this happend because this particular file happened to have the string "<A" in
its first 1024 characters. That string is part of a valid MIDI instruction.
Binary files, like MIDI files, should not be subject to screening for text
strings; fragments like "<A" in this case can obviously occur outside the
context of "HTML or script code."
User Splarka mentioned that "UploadBase.php" might be at the core of the
problem.
