mime type of GetCapabilities response

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Let me clarify, the file downloaded is not the Mapserver executable, it
does contain the GetCapabilities XML, but the file is always named
mapserv.exe by default.

With the OGC mimetype I would get a save as dialog and I could pick my own
filenames.

Best regards,
Bart
