Thanks for the patch.

For the record:

- The application/manifest+json is not something officially 
  registered (https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml).

- The specification does not seem to be complete, only a working 
  draft is available.

- The MIME type isn't present in Apache mime.types
  (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types).

Note that we generally only add most popular types to the 
mime.types as shipped with nginx.  It currently doesn't look like 
the "application/manifest+json" type qualify.

Note that if you want to add additional types or serve some files 
with specific custom types, you can do so using the "types" 
directive, see http://nginx.org/r/types for examples.
