Comment:
#3362 doesn't solve the problem as it can't be done with existing
HttpResponse class.
There is still no way to send a response without Content-Type header with
Django except this:
{{{
response = HttpResponse(open(unknown_type_file).read())
del response['Content-Type']
}}}
which is very ugly.
According to [http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec7.html]
Content-Type header is not mandatory and can be omitted to make client
guess file type, but it can't be done with Django as setting content_type
to None sets it to DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE and not really None.
