Steps to reproduce:
* Running ikiwiki version 3.20130904.1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
* Also installed `perlmagick` and `libxml-writer-perl`
* Enable attachment plugin
* Set attachment rule to `mimetype(image/*)`
* Attempt to attach an image (e.g. downloaded version of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Lolcats#/media/File:You_gotz_a_lolcat.jpg )
What should happen:
* Attachment is uploaded
What happens instead:
* Error message: `prohibited by allowed_attachments (file MIME type is application/octet-stream, not image/*)`
Workaround:
* Change attachment rule to `mimetype(image/*) or application/octet-stream`
Other notes:
* Downloading and uploading from a Windows machine via Firefox

>>> Thanks so much for digging into that! There's a new LTS around the corner with a [newer (post 2014) version of ikiwiki](http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/ikiwiki) so we can probably afford to wait and/or switch to a self-managed packaged. -- [[David Rix]]
