Description

As seen in MRM-755, when working with Websphere, the content-type header is required.
Currently, the codebase will only provide mime-type / content-type based on extensions found in the mime-types.txt file.

We should default the mime-type for those types not found.
The suggestion to use octet-stream as the default was raised in the #archiva irc channel.

I suggested a patch in PLXCOMP-103 for this issue.
That is, don't send the content type header field if the content type is not known.
