Can we add an additional mime-type for RAR?

[s1lver]

The list of mime-types at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types and in the framework only includes the application/x-rar-compressed type.

yii2/framework/helpers/mimeExtensions.php

Line 805 in 22889d3

'application/x-rar-compressed' => 'rar',

However, the finfo function can return application/x-rar for a RAR archive.

eg

(new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE))->buffer('archive.rar'); // application/x-rar

Can we add this additional variant, or is this already an edge case that doesn't belong in the framework?

can override @yii/helpers/mimeExtensions.php, to some custom path and merge original mimeExtensions.php with you own array

It would be a temporary solution, but the idea is that the framework can handle PHP default behaviors, without the need to extend or modify it.

Yes, thats right. The goal was to not keep the temporary mime-types extension workaround.
