file type crt as mime

I do face an issue when using upload library

since when trying to upload a CRT file (Certificate File) which has a mime type of Content-Type: application/pkix-cert 


it gives me file type not allowed

I checked the mimes.php and it has a record for crt as follow:

'crt'   => array('application/x-x509-ca-cert', 'application/x-x509-user-cert', 'application/pkix-cert')

so any suggestions please

note: when I use $config['allowed_types']        = '*'; 
it works without errors

I have seen similar problems using Dropzone, where the file are uploaded using javascript instead of a normal form. It will change the context-type, you can see it in your networks tab what you are submitting.

Are you using AJAX as well? You will need to supply a little more code to get a better answer.

Side not: I didn't resolve my image upload problem, I validate it after upload instead.

thanks for your kind reply

sure I do use AJAX 

I do check the post of ajax and it states a correct type
here is ajax code

Code:

function do_upload(){
   $(".error-message").empty();
   $('#upl_btnUpload').linkbutton({text:'Saving...'});
   $('#upl_btnUpload').linkbutton('disable');
   var formData = new FormData($('#form_upload')[0]);
   $.ajax({
       url:"<?php echo base_url('webconfig/auth/get_new_csrf');?>",
       type:"GET",
       dataType:"JSON",
       success:function(data){
           formData.append(data.csrf_name,data.csrf_token);
           $.ajax({
               url : "<?php echo base_url('webconfig/network/ajax_upload_crt')?>",
               type: "POST",
               data: formData,
               contentType: false,
               processData: false,
               dataType: "JSON",
               success:function(data){
                   if(data.error_status){
                       toastr.success(data.error_string);
                       $('#w_upl_crt').window('close');
                   }else{
                       if(data.error_type=='validate'){
                           toastr.error(data.error_string);
                           for (var i = 0; i < data.error_input.length; i++){
                               err('[id="'+data.error_input[i]+'"]', data.error_string[i]);
                           }
                       }else{
                           $.messager.alert('PediaERP',data.error_string,'error');
                       }
                   }
                   $('#upl_btnUpload').linkbutton({text:'Save'});
                   $('#upl_btnUpload').linkbutton('enable');
               },
               error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
                   $.messager.alert('PediaERP','Error uploading certificate !','error');
               }
           });
       },
       error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
           $.messager.alert('PediaERP','Error saving certificate !','error');
           $('#upl_btnUpload').linkbutton({text:'Save'});
           $('#upl_btnUpload').linkbutton('enable');
       }
   });
}

and here is the php code which handles the request

PHP Code:

            $this->load->library('upload', $config);
            $this->upload->initialize($config);
            if(!$this->upload->do_upload('upl_crt_file')){

                rename("/pediaerp/uploads/".$ssl_details->ssl_domain.".crt", "/etc/ssl/pediaerp/crt/".$ssl_details->ssl_domain.".crt");
                //get ssl_id
                $ssl_id = $this->m_ssl->get_new_ssl_id()->ssl_id;

            }
        }
