I've checked my /etc/mime.types and there was no entry for ".gz" files.
However I found the following remark at the begining of this file:
# Note: Compression schemes like "gzip", "bzip", and "compress" are not
# actually "mime-types". They are "encodings" and hence must _not_ have
# entries in this file to map their extensions. The "mime-type" of an
# encoded file refers to the type of data that has been encoded, not the
# type of the encoding.
So what should I set to get the "application/x-gunzip" type for ".gz" files?
