74515 - bugzilla's MIME type checking is too strict

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53696

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Chris Waterson]

Thanks to the ever-vigilant standards champions, we no longer support
``text/xul'' as a MIME type. In it's place, ``application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml''.
(See bug 28273, if you care.)

Unfortunately, Bugzilla thinks this MIME type is bullshit. (I happen to agree
with Bugzilla, but, what do I know.) Specifically, it reports, ``You must select
a legal mime type. 'application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml' simply will not do.''

Could you please fix Bugzilla to accept the above mank? Thanks.

Sorry, should be a bit more clear. I cannot specify the above mess as a MIME
type for an attachment. To reproduce:

1. Click on the ``Create a new attachment'' link.
2. Pick a file on your hard drive.
3. Enter ``application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml'' as the MIME type

Expected: file is attached to bug
Actual: Bugzilla rejects attachment because of MIME type.
