Hi,

I'm using Mediawiki 1.12.0. In LocalSettings.php, I set $wgCheckFileExtensions to false and I didn't update $wgFileExtensions (using default parameters).

However, even with $wgCheckFileExtensions set to false, I'm not able to upload a PDF file (for example). Of course, if I add 'pdf' on $wgFileExtensions array, it works as expected.

What I would expect : when $wgCheckFileExtensions is set to false, no extension checking should take place.

This bug is also described in the manual page (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgCheckFileExtensions) but doesn't seem to be filed in Bugzilla.

Special:Version

MediaWiki 1.12.0 (r32735) PHP 5.2.6-pl1-gentoo (apache2handler) MySQL 5.0.54

Cheers,

Florian

Fixed in r35195

The final upload check was checking $wgStrictFileExtensions only, which shouldn't apply when $wgCheckFileExtensions is disabled.
