Thank you for the patch.

Note that nginx doesn't try to maintain all the mime types known, 
but rather tries to supply types generally needed for a web 
server.  Particular MIME types don't seem to be widely used,
and not even registered by IANA[1].

If you want to use these types in your configuration, consider 
modifying mime.types locally or extending the existing MIME types 
list using the "types" directive (http://nginx.org/r/types).
