Guessing the file-type from the first few magic bytes is
probably a good thing (especially in the case where other
methods have failed, and the MIME type has fallen back to
application/octet-stream or something equally unhelpful).
The bug here is that it ignores the explicit Content-Type
header instead of its own detection mechanisms, which is
clearly bad.
Anyone want to file a Microsoft bug report? :-)
