Two, even though it in it of itself is not 100% fool proof, validating it with javascript is yet another appended deterrent in the fight against malicious activities. All in all you want to have your backend validate before accepting, and as an added bonus by checking and validating the first few bytes of the file to validate it is a type you really want, since by extension alone is never a fool proof means. | |
