Commit summary:
Bug #26059 — Add support for KML/KMZ filetype
Patch from Derk-Jan Hartman of which he writes:
I figured adding kml support would be a breeze, but I had not
counted on the brain dead browser that is IE6.
Unfortunately, kml contains the element <heading, which triggers
the protection in detectScript() that protects from uploads that
IE6 might mistake for HTML. It triggers on "<head" not sure if we
can work around this, but Tim will know.
Comment:
This should probably be reverted. I never finished the patch, it was just some
intermediate work that I did and wanted preserved in case we had a way forward
for the <head issue and content sniffing.
