The software already knows which extensions belong to which MIME types, it's not magic. As ". cute dogs" is not an extension, there would be no issue. There is no reason to attack every period, only known extensions. Even unknown extensions should be safe, as long as their MIME type is equally unknown. If the MIME type is known, it's appended. So if a JPEG is uploaded as "esp. cute dogs.dog", it would become "esp. cute dogs.dog.jpg", and the uploaded is asked if they wish to continue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
