Description:
The thumbnail pass-through script is returning results when being passed the wrong thumb extension.
We should make sure it's tuned a little more tightly
See url: the jpeg image has a .ogg extension
Next, the apache server might use this wrong file extension to determine the mime type of the file.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

I'm pretty sure this is actually a problem with the 404 thumb-handler scripts:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/tools/upload-scripts/
MediaWiki here doesn't necessarily see the URL that the 404 handler is going through... we should make sure that only valid names result in a valid access.

the file http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/httpd.conf
has a few lines about the mod_mime_magic module.
is this module active ?
it would explain why the above .ogg file keeps
being transmitted with an image mime header
This is accounted for with the new thumb handler (which tries to avoid creating thumbnails at once place while streaming them for a different URL, which resulted in thumbnails which cannot be purged).
