This is a follow-up to my bugreport regarding [SVG Upload not working] ([SVG Upload not working](https://meta.discourse.org/t/svg-upload-not-working/45304)). Upload works now, the svg image size is stripped correctly. The problem appears after the upload, because the image cannot be loaded (shows broken link symbol instead).

Reproduce Steps:

- update to latest commit
- upload svg to new/old topic
- preview should show the svg, but doesn’t. after saving the topic problem persists.
- the file is uploaded correctly and exists in var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default/original/1X/

Some speculation of mine:

- looks like there is some mime-type mix-up. my chromium can’t show the svg in my discourse installation. but copying the image-url and pasting it into a new window starts downloading the file.
