Unknown file type MIME?

Viewed 82093

Do I have to specify a MIME type if the uploaded file has no extension? In other words is there a default general MIME type?

You can use application/octet-stream for unknown types.

RFC 2046 states in section 4.5.1:

The "octet-stream" subtype is used to indicate that a body contains arbitrary binary data.
