  # Manifest files
  
    # If you are providing a web application manifest file (see the
    # specification: http://w3c.github.io/manifest/), it is recommended
    # that you serve it with the `application/manifest+json` media type.
    #
    # Because the web application manifest file doesn't have its own
    # unique file extension, you can set its media type either by matching:
    #
    # 1) the exact location of the file (this can be done using a directive
    #    such as `<Location>`, but it will NOT work in the `.htaccess` file,
    #    so you will have to do it in the main server configuration file or
    #    inside of a `<VirtualHost>` container)
    #
    #    e.g.:
    #
    #       <Location "/.well-known/manifest.json">
    #           AddType application/manifest+json               json
    #       </Location>
    #
    # 2) the filename (this can be problematic as you will need to ensure
    #    that you don't have any other file with the same name as the one
    #    you gave to your web application manifest file)
    #
    #    e.g.:
    #
    #       <Files "manifest.json">
    #           AddType application/manifest+json               json
