I think its handled by StaticApp class in file httpserver.py

class StaticApp(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)

But I don't know how to hack into Content-Type. This class is based on

http://docs.python.org/library/simplehttpserver.html#SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

And setting extensions_map (A dictionary mapping suffixes into MIME
types) will probably work.
