 '''Change Log'''

 Since: 2.0.4

 '''Source File'''

 wp_check_filetype() is located in wp-includes/functions.php.

 But it's not actually located at this place as well, instead it's similar
 method 'wp_check_filetype_and_ext' is located on this file.

 '''Issue:'''

 Whenever we provide a url or a file name that have mulitple DOT SEPRATOR,
 it simply fails and don't return anything. It's not specified in codex as
 well.

 Example: 'var/test/abc.user.class.php'

 It should check recursively for correct file extension, but it doesn't
 looks like it's checking correctly.

 Result:

 Web application crash in middle if we use it.
