There's really only two solutions:
(1) Accept the filetype and do nothing
(2) create a wildcard file type which will accept all non-explicit filetypes including no_ext.
no_ext filetypes are those urls with no periods that works in conjunction with wildcards
Note that the burden of enforcement will shift to url matching.
violation will not be a bad filetype, but rather an unknown url
There is a feature request to prevent this behavior but it hasn't been added to any F5 software yet ID400017.
