Please add MIME type for MapGuide package to the download server's mime.types

[jbirch]

Could the newly-established ​MIME type for MapGuide packages please be added to the vhost configuration for the download.osgeo.org site with an ​AddType directive?

I think this should look something like:

AddType application/vnd.osgeo.mapguide.package .mgp

Rationale:

This will allow our Internet Explorer users to download our sample data packages with the correct file extension instead of being prompted to save a .zip file. This issue has caused a considerable problem for new users, who often attempt to unzip the contents of the package. Using this MIME type on the download server will provide a considerably enhanced initial experience for our users.

Thanks!
