Description

The default configuration suggests one should be able to upload gzipped tarballs as attachments (application/gzip is in the allowed list), but it doesn't seem to work on any Windows browser I've tried (Vivaldi, Edge, Chrome, Firefox).

You can set allowed that in app.ini file and restart gitea:

As stated in my description, application/gzip should be allowed by default. I also tried adding it explicitly. Neither worked. Finally I had to change the allowed list to / to get it to work. Is there something else non-obvious that would work?

By default only images are allowed. You have to set correct mime type as sent from browser (there are multiple for gz files)

Thanks, application/x-gzip worked. It may be beneficial to have the message state the type which is being rejected, so that one doesn't have to go fumbling in the dark.
