When I'm setting allowed file types that can be uploaded it still lets me upload any file type. I'm using the following code below:
uploader.setFileTypes("*.pdf");

Is that expected behavior?

Looks like not all browsers accept ".pdf", including Chrome. I'll have to put MIME types manually. See this comment for more information.

Also firefox will support only "image/" and "video/" and ignore anything else.
