Microsoft's "I mean it" content-type parameter

Also, it might it be invoked by servers which report *no* Content-Type?

Sniffing IS allowed in HTTP when there is no Content-Type. But if there
is a Content-Type is MUST be trusted to be correct.

Simple, efficient, beautiful. But fails when the content author has no
realistict means of controlling the content-type reported by the
server
