Thanks Antonio.
That's precisely the information I need. I'm aware that depending on the feature a third party app would be implied. Plus I/O would mean performance decrease, and so on.

A good example is based on what I've seen from Dave, in the scenarios ImageMagick has been applied, and etc.

The main idea, which derived these daydreams, was because sometimes we deal with files, uploaded by the users, and the system is providing them to other users. Meaning, my system could potentially harm/infect another computer if malicious or even unaware members upload their files within viruses, and/or malicious code, macros etc.

Currently, NGINX is blocking most of the dangerous ones, and the rest I have left to OACS god's hands!

I know there are tons to be implemented still. The post was a very good coincidence between hat I have experienced, by writing code, and the comments that I found within ad_proc cr_check_mime_type.

Once in a while, I get stuck on basic/fundamentals troubleshooting and I decide to recycle a bit, instead of rushing things up.
