Better heuristic for OWS Request filenames

Description:

The org.geoserver.ows.Response class has a default definition of getAttachmentFileName() that uses the MIME type of the response to guess a filename to use in the Content-Disposition header. Currently the heuristic used is to take the part of the MIME type up to the first / character. Instead, I think it should be everything between the first / and the first ; if any. This is because MIME types are structured as a general category (application, text, image…) and a specific subtype - the subtype more often corresponds to a commonly used file extension than the general category. Examples:

  • text/css
  • text/xml
  • image/png
  • image/jpeg

etc.
