Bug #: 30043
Summary: Upload warning incorrect "File extension does not
match MIME type." with URL encoded filenames
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: fastgoldf...@gmail.com
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
When using "Source URL" "sideloading" to upload a file using the file's URL, if
the file name contains URL-encoded characters, the warning "File extension does
not match MIME type." is given. Removing the URL-encoded characters from the
file name allows the upload to proceed, but the checkbox "Ignore any warnings"
does not work.
I discovered the bug with this file, which has an URL encoded comma %2C after
the word "Park":

I'm not sure how this should be solved, since I don't know what characters are
not allowed in a file name, if any. It may depend on the system. It might be a
good idea to strip out characters that are allowed in URLs, but not in file
names.
