When you do not set a "Content-Type" header explicitly,
then ZPublisher tries to guess one:

  When it sees binary data, it assumes "application/octet-stream".

  Otherwise, it assumes "text". When it sees an "<html>", it uses
  "text/html", otherwise "text/plain".

Usually, Zope objects, especially "File" objects set an explicit
"Content-Type", guessed when the object is created and modifyable
with the management interface.
