i have a watchguard firebox.
application/octet-stream is not allowed. instead i allow by application ext.
application/rar
application/zip
etc
this leads to a problem when remote servers don't list the mime type in the header in a way the fw can understand.
to cut it short, im under the understanding that allowing application/octet-stream is openning up a big hole in security.
can someone explain this to me and set me straight?
