I recognized this a long time ago but didn't take a closer 
look at that.

The spec seems to say that we should provide a Content-Type 
in the header.

See:

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec7.html

7.2.1 Type
...
Any HTTP/1.1 message containing an entity-body SHOULD include 
a Content-Type header field defining the media type of that body.

Do you have more information about that? Is it Ok to skip
the Content-Type from the header?
