title: Configure nginx to serve manifest.json
body: <p>How should <code>nginx</code> be configured in order to serve a <code>manifest.json</code> from the root folder of my app?</p>
  
  <p>I have added an entry in <code>mime.types</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code> application/x-web-app-manifest+json     webapp;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and since I use json I have added a location entry in my sites-enabled configuration:</p>
  
  <pre><code>location /manifest.json {
      default_type application/x-web-app-manifest+json;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but my <code>manifest.json</code> is still not served correctly.</p>
  
  <p>any idea what did I miss or what should I configure differently?</p>
