Notes

• The list of file extensions is stored in a visitor's browser. You need to update it each time a page is loaded.
  We check for extensions at the end of the URL path and in query parameter values. Here are a few examples of how we detect extensions:
  • http://example.com/path/file.zip
  • http://example.com/path/file.zip#hello
  • http://example.com/path/file.zip?a=102
  • http://example.com/path/?a=file.zip
  • http://example.com/path/?a=file.zip&b=29
• Here's the default list of file extensions tracked as downloads: 7z, aac, apk, arc, arj, asf, asx, avi, azw3, bin, csv, deb, dmg, doc, docx, epub, exe, flv, gif, gz, gzip, hqx, ibooks, jar, jpg, jpeg, js, mobi, mp2, mp3, mp4, mpg, mpeg, mov, movie, msi, msp, odb, odf, odg, ods, odt, ogg, ogv, pdf, phps, png, ppt, pptx, qt, qtm, ra, ram, rar, rpm, sea, sit, tar, tbz, tbz2, bz, bz2, tgz, torrent, txt, wav, wma, wmv, wpd, xls, xlsx, xml, z, zip.
