Hello,  
I’m currently including the default table on mime types: include  
mime.types;

I would like to add two additional mime types not included in this list,  
I should edit the file directly (which I dislike) or can I add another  
types {} block in nginx.conf directly and they will be merged?

Thanks.

You should add them in mime.types.
