Certainly. If you look in
libs/network/test/http/server_hello_world.cpp there is an example of
setting the headers for the response of a synchronous HTTP server.
What you'll need to remember is that the response object passed by
lvalue reference to the handler has a member named `headers` where you
would put all the headers you want.

In your handler's operator() overload, you would have something like this:

  server::response::header_type content_type = {"Content-Type",
"application/octet-stream"};
  response.headers.push_back(content_type);

This is at least true for the version in the 0.9-devel branch. If
you're on 0.8, you would need code that looks like this:

  server::response_header content_type = {"Content-Type",
"application/octet-stream"};
  response.headers.push_back(content_type);

I hope this helps!
