This isn't exactly what you asked for, but if you don't need to server anything else along with it, then perhaps you could use internal_redirect http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/SubRequest.html#C_internal_redirect_ and let Apache set the Content-Type for you. If you do find the direct answer to your question, please post it, as I'm interested in this question also.
