http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11482 --- Comment #15 from Henri Sivonen <hsivonen@iki.fi> 2011-11-17 14:48:33 UTC --- (In reply to comment #14) > File extensions aren't any more exact than MIME types, IMHO. What's the format > of a .doc file? There's dozens of software packages that use that extension. > Even Word uses that same extension for multiple different formats. Even if you can find an example of non-Word files being named .doc, it doesn't make MIME types and and file name extensions equally (in)exact. Chances are that for upload, a filter based on file name extension would still have a better success rate than MIME types, because the current systems in use use file name extensions, so a browser-provided always-incomplete mapping layer isn't needed. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
