V8-archive: API sets wrong mime type
When I upload a PDF file, or a JS file, or anything non-image?, the type is set to text/plain

I couldn't reproduce this issue with PDF files, but with files as JavaScript it makes sense to have this set as text/plain.
What we need to know is map the mime type based on the file extension.

Shouldn't it be application/javascript?

@rijkvanzanten that's correct. I was trying to say that if the server can't tell what the type of a file is based on its content we should base it on its extension (if any).

@WellingGuzman This doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to implement... but it's a high priority bug that has gone stale from inactivity. Any update on how long this would take to resolve?

This is a partial solution solved with https://github.com/directus/api/commit/b7f874bacb20b146fe6fb92408b2a09ef12a85c9.
It doesn't overwrite the value from the client.
Ideally we should have a list of mime type mapping to one or more extensions.
