Enabling other filetypes

[Sam Skillman]

Other file types that I would need to be enabled: '.dat', '.tar', '.tar.gz'. In general it would be really nice to have arbitrary file extensions.

Yup, we are working on enabling arbitrary file types.

'.dat', '.tar', '.gz' are now enabled, arbitrary filetypes will be allowed later

Wonderful, also just thought of .webm for movies, which I have found to be super nice for viewing in Chrome. Thanks!

webm will be nice to add, however they are not supported on all devices and browsers currently, which creates a big problem.

We do lot of processing and create several resolution movies (6 movies + original) in mp4 format currently, this adds good chunk of storage, doing this the same with webm will double our storage costs, so keeping it simple for now.
