I found a special case which the binary stl files will be parsed as a ascii stl file (which is normal) and fail in an unexpected way, as well as a case where ascii stl files (and plausibly obj files) will fail when there is indentation present in the file.

Will push a fix in a few minutes.

Supporting PDF files would let mediagoblin have many more use cases, such as a collection of datasheets, research papers, and books.

A working pdf media type is at:

​https://www.gitorious.org/~alon/mediagoblin/alons-mediagoblin/commits/pdf

The test is not in there because I wasn't sure how it should be added - I have it written but the problems are:

1. it needs to run only if pdftocairo is available

So I can add some code to check for the existence of that executable and only then enable the media type and test.

It works fine if you add a comma at the end.
