Known Issues:
This module is designed to work on PHP 5.3+. If you have an earlier version
of PHP, it should still work but you may encounter issues with detecting the
MIME type of the uploaded file. This depends on your server setup, as it
should work fine if PHP is allowed to call the exec function. See
the support site for
further details and considerations.
