PHP file upload on server changed mime-type to application/octet-stream

Question

I have a file upload and when I test it on localhost all mime-types are ok. (txt, pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx)

When I test the same files on the server it changes all mime-types to application/octet-stream.

Is there any setting in PHP.ini or anywhere else to set it?

Server is using WAMP.

PHP Framework Nette

The answer as someone mentioned above is the way the RFC spec works. Check out Why am I getting mime-type of .csv file as "application/octet-stream"? for more info.

The problem was that there wasn't fileinfo extension in PHP on the server. After activating all works fine.
