Detailed Description

This class simulates Microsoft Internet Explorer's terribly broken and insecure MIME type detection algorithm.

It can be used to check web uploads with an apparently safe type, to see if IE will reinterpret them to produce something dangerous.

It is full of bugs and strange design choices should not under any circumstances be used to determine a MIME type to present to a user or client. (Apple Safari developers, this means you too.)

This class is based on a disassembly of IE 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0. Although I have attempted to ensure that this code works in exactly the same way as Internet Explorer, it does not share any source code, or creative choices such as variable names, thus I (Tim Starling) claim copyright on it.

It may be redistributed without restriction. To aid reuse, this class does not depend on any MediaWiki module.
