would it be possible to add support for reporting the file's mime type to the url_post page?

Yes. I've just implemented MIME type detection. Check it out in upcoming XUpload Pro release.

Yes. Email us your key and note that you need version with MIME type support. We will send you latest XUpload PRO.

This is not working properly.

If I rename a file extension, the MIME is always reported as that of the new file extension.

So if I rename a .PDF to .TXT, the MIME is always reported as "text/plain," though the content is a .PDF.

If I check the same file's MIME with PHP, it correctly reports it as "application/pdf."

So the point of checking MIME with XUpload is lost -- XUpload is reporting the MIME by file extensions -- and is potentially a security risk.
