+Bugfix: Remove excess info from the http list app providers endpoint
+
+We've removed excess info from the http list app providers endpoint.
+The app provider section contained all mime types supported by a certain app provider, 
+which led to a very big JSON payload and since they are not used they have been removed again.
+Mime types not on the mime type configuration list always had `application/octet-stream` as a file extension and `APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM file` as name and description. Now these information are just omitted.
