Sure looks like the DefaultType kicking in, which should not happen

        Well, the user checked, did find a DefaultType text/plain in his
        configuration.  He REMOVED IT, and it still delivers these files with
        Content-Type: text/plain.

        He had a ForceType also, but that was to force text/html, and it
        was conditioned within a <FILEMATCH> stanza and clearly wasn't what
        was being triggered since we keep getting text/plain.

        The file itself is being genrated not via a CGI but some Oracle
        process (this IS an Apache configured by Oracle after all), so he's
        trying to figure out now just what might be generated by that
        procedure, which DOES seem to generate a Content-Type header.  If
        we can determine that it gets OMITTED in this case that would explain
        the type/plain from the DefaultType, perhaps, even with the DefaultType
        directive being removed.   Another possibility is the process itself
        has no idea what to assign as a Content-Type, and thus it backpedals
        and assigns text/plain because it has nothing better  to assign
        (although application/octet would be better, eh?).
