Do not register pdf mime type implicitly

[aeden]

Right now

wicked_pdf/lib/wicked_pdf/railtie.rb

Line 40 in ed22680

Mime::Type.register('application/pdf', :pdf)

registered the pdf extension. This means that when someone goes to a page and ends the URL in .pdf, it will result in a 500 error.

I humbly request that you make the registration of PDF a choice.

I am able to reproduce the issue, but I don't see how it is better to not register the mime type.

If you go to a random URL and end it with .gif or .json you have the same issue, right?

There's a longstanding open issue on Rails for this that has some creative ways to prevent this from happening, but I think I'm with you that requesting a format you don't implement on each action shouldn't raise an ActionView::MissingTemplate error.

Are you not registering it in your app? How do you handle serving pdf's without it, as octet-stream downloads?

I'm open to suggestions or pull requests for the configuration initializer if you think that's the best route to take, but I would think it should be enabled by default.
