javascript not recognizing .fbx file type

Question

i have to validate an <input type="file" /> html field in which is only possibile to upload .fbx files, but javascript is not recognizing this MIME-TYPE (it returns an empty string), there is any way to do so?

This is what i get:

lastModified:1497968051479
lastModifiedDate:Tue Jun 20 2017 16:14:11 GMT+0200 (CEST)
name:"headset.FBX"
size:669984
type:""
webkitRelativePath:""

Thanks all

FBX is not supported by mime-type. This is one of the limitations. You can convert the file to .stl and pass the Mime type "application/vnd.ms-pkistl". This will work.

but i think is only a javascript problem, `PHP` is recognizing `.fbx` as `application/octet-stream`, thanks anyway – Gumma Mocciaro Jun 27 '17 at 10:32

"application/octet-stream" this works for me, I have added in IIS – anomepani Mar 16 '18 at 18:33

application/octet-stream means that the mime type is unrecognized, it doesn't identify FBX files in particular. – vpzomtrrfrt Aug 09 '18 at 19:54

This is quite an old thread, but let me share my research. FBX does not have mime-type, but it does have standards (every year comes out new one). Also there is ASCII FBX and binary version. If you want to serve it, just use application/octet-stream and if for some reason you want to do something with it at website like here https://threejs.org/examples/?q=fbx#webgl_loader_fbx you have to use something else eg. extension to identify it's fbx.
