If you are refering to the mime type reported by paperclip (and inserted
into the db), this has nothing to do with the mime type that nginx uses.
Actually the mime type paperclip uses is taken from the user agent. If
it doesn't suit your needs use a hook in your rails model or a custom
paperclip processor.
