MimeDetect 6.x-1.2 returns "application/octet-stream" for a .gz archive. It would be great to have this type supported.

I attach an example. On my system, the command file --brief --mime loremIpsum.txt.gz returns application/x-gzip; charset=binary.

The selected file GZip.gz could not be uploaded. The file contents (application/x-gzip) do not match its extension (gz).

The selected file gziplinux.gzip could not be uploaded. The file contents (application/x-gzip) do not match its extension (gzip).

Thank you.
