    file_mime_type: increase use of hardcoded magic file (bug #809216)
    
    Mahara's mimetype detection function wasn't working properly and
    so it would not be able to set the right mimetype when a browser
    (typically IE) sets it to a generic value.
    
    The workaround in 821a693c8da162b91b0715eaee771b09d19de601 is not
    sufficient because symlinks, like directories, don't work but the
    is_file() function will resolve them and may return true.

Title:
  When uploading a .flv using IE, the mimetype isn't set correctly

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  As described here:

    http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=3840

  it looks like unless users install a video player that will add a
  mimetype for .flv files, IE will send a generic one (application
  /octet-stream) to Mahara and so the file won't be recognized as a
  video file that can be selected by Mahara.
