It means that your proxy server is rewriting the Content-Type header of your
CFHTTP request. Unfortunately, even though your CFHTTP.FileContent would
contain a string, CFHTTP won't let you display the FileContent if the
content type isn't text, which is a big pain. You can use CFHTTP to write to
a text file, then read the contents of the file using CFFILE. Or, you can
use a replacement for CFHTTP, which will let you do what you want. You might
be able to configure the proxy server so it doesn't rewrite the header, if
you control the proxy server.
