That's not proper content negotiation, that's just lying to the client. If the
browser is configured to save JSON files as downloads, then the solution isn't
to misrepresent the content, it's to fix the browser and make it behave in a
way you like. And that isn't hard to do - my browser (FF) displays JSON just
fine because I installed JSONView to handle it.
