Duplicated media type in Nginx gzip directive

[philippbecker]

Something confusing happens at the recent changes of the Nginx server configs. Like already mentioned in the comments of the nginx.conf is the media type text/html compressed by default. But the type is a few lines above enabled which will cause a duplicated MIME type error at Nginx start, because it collides with the mime.types file value.

I also don't understand why the following media types are listed in the gzip_types directive:

application/atom+xml
application/rss+xml

Because in the mime.types file is defined:

application/xml                       atom rdf rss xml;

From my point of view the media types atom/rss+xml are obsolete.. or not?

@theluckyzombie thanks for spotting that (solved in bccd592886c8b63cee5727ab22bea37b9f155511).

I also don't understand why the following media types are listed in the gzip_types directive ...

In case some other parts of the setup (e.g.: php, ruby on rails, etc.) overwrite those MIME-types.
