[Antelope] Mime Type for miniseed file

[Chad Trabant]

Hello Hank,

We could use the private mime-types within the IRIS community, but it might be
more valuable if it were vetted by the FDSN since SEED is an FDSN creation and
under their control; I suggest you replace "iris" with "fdsn" in your proposed
types.  You could ask your FDSN representative to bring your proposals (or
just the topic) to working group II (http://www.fdsn.org/FDSNwgII.htm).

In the past I have used application/x-miniseed for Mini-SEED in an HTTP stream
so I'm sympathetic towards the desire for an agreed upon mime type.

regards,
Chad
