Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/7763

open-webui: 0.4.7.
ollama: 0.4.0
python: 3.11

I am a dedicated user of Open WebUI and find it extremely useful.
I especially rely on the RAG feature, which has been incredibly helpful.
I would like to suggest adding support for the pickle format, as it could make the platform even more versatile and useful.

The following is the code I modified and tested. I have confirmed that it works correctly in the described environment.

| apps
├── retrieval/
├── loaders/
├── main.py

# existing code
import pickle
# existing code
class PickleLoader:
    def __init__(self, file_path):
        self.file_path = file_path
        
    def load(self) -> list[Document]:
        with open(self.file_path, 'rb') as f:
            data = pickle.load(f)
            
        if isinstance(data, str):
            return [Document(page_content=data, metadata={"source": self.file_path})]
        elif isinstance(data, (list, tuple)):
            return [Document(page_content=str(item), metadata={"source": self.file_path}) for item in data]
        else:
            return [Document(page_content=str(data), metadata={"source": self.file_path})]
# existing code
def _get_loader(self, filename: str, file_content_type: str, file_path: str):
# existing code
            elif file_ext == "pkl" or file_ext == "pickle":
                loader = PickleLoader(file_path)
# existing code
