Description

I tried to upload a file to a release but got error message "You cannot upload files of this type".
The file is zip and its mime type is application/zip.

Here is app.ini configuration.

[attachment]
ENABLED = true
PATH = D:/my-work-spaces/gitea/data/attachments
ALLOWED_TYPES = application/zip|application/x-compressed-tar|application/x-gzip
MAX_SIZE = 20
MAX_FILES = 1

Have you restarted Gitea?

Have you restarted Gitea?

Yes, I did.

I have the very same issue.
Any suggestions?

Same here on latest 1.7.1, it won't let me upload zip files even though they are explicitly allowed.

Workaround: add application/x-zip-compressed to ALLOWED_TYPES

Hmm ok so if the data gets to Gitea it will definitely be assigned a mimetype of application/zip.

This mimetype is being assigned by your browser and is being checked in dropzone. Are you using internet explorer?

Unfortunately there's not much that can be done - I think you just have to add application/x-zip-compressed either that or we have to change dropzone upstream to have a list of mapping from old non valid mimetypes to real mimetypes.

I'm using Firefox.
Added application/zip|application/x-zip|application/x-zip-compressed|application/x-compress|application/x-compressed|multipart/x-zip (copied from https://filext.com/file-extension/ZIP ) but still does not work.

Of cause, I'm already restarted Gitea.

Gitea 1.7.0

Are you running Gitea behind an nginx proxy? If so you will need to allow nginx to allow it too

[zeripath]

Ok, here's where I think that's being set:

gitea/public/vendor/plugins/dropzone/dropzone.js

Line 953 in 801843b

} else if (!Dropzone.isValidFile(file, this.options.acceptedFiles)) {

[zeripath]

If you're not running an nginx proxy then I think this is something to do with your browser - I am really not sure that this is even getting to the Gitea server and I think your upload is being rejected by dropzone.

gitea/public/vendor/plugins/dropzone/dropzone.js

Line 1583 in 801843b

Dropzone.isValidFile = function(file, acceptedFiles) {

This is on your browser so you should be able to double check what it's seeing by sticking breakpoints in in the developer console.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs during the next 2 weeks. Thank you for your contributions.

I don't running nginx proxy. This problem even occur on https://try.gitea.io
As the link I provided https://try.gitea.io/ve3/test/src/tag/0.1

I'm not sure did you tried to upload .zip on your server ( https://try.gitea.io ) because it same and it is not just my browser problem.

[mrsdizzie]

This worked fine for me on try.gitea.io just now:

https://try.gitea.io/mrsdizzie/parsing-errors/releases

That sshot.zip attachment has a mime-type of application/zip same as mentioned in the issue report.

The link you've provided to try.gitea.io unfortunately doesn't help because of the nature of the problem (there is no file there for anybody to look at). Is it possible to share an example zip file that doesn't work right for you? Being able to reproduce will help track down what may be happening (can't reproduce it with my own application/zip file)

Download (ZIP) from there
Edit release
Upload the zip file
Failed.

All the zip files cannot upload.

This seems to be only happens with Firefox on Windows (not sure Firefox on other os).
