[New-bugs-announce] [issue22589] mimetypes uses image/x-ms-bmp as the type for bmp files

[Brian Matthews]

New submission from Brian Matthews:

In the file mimetypes.py the mime type for bmp files should be image/bmp for IE8 and later. the problem is that if the content header for 'nosniff' is set, then the bmp file fails to display due to the incorrect mime type.
