Ticket #45818, comment 6
v1 v2 1 Then there should be a way to allow some file extensions to have multiple possible mime types. As I stated in the OP, CAD applications do not appear standardized. Different CAD applications use the same extension while setting a different mime type. It seems that every CAD app uses a different extension/mime combination, all of which appear to be completely valid according to the information I've been reading. With the setup in WP only one mime type can be set per extension (unless I'm missing something, if I am please point me to information). This makes it nearly impossible to allow anyone but a super admin on multisite to upload these files. In my opinion there needs to be a way to override this behavior. If I want to allow unfiltered uploads on my mulitsite installations then I should be able to accomplish this is some way without hacking core files, or expecting an entire software industry to use the same standard mime t imes where they have not done so for as long as there has been CAD software.1 Then there should be a way to allow some file extensions to have multiple possible mime types.
