> [DefaultServlet|https://github.com/undertow-io/undertow/blob/master/servlet/src/main/java/io/undertow/servlet/handlers/DefaultServlet.java#L186] does not set Content-Type HTTP header in response for the directory resource when directory-listing feature is enabled.
> As browsers apparently try to guess appropriate Content-Type of the downloaded resource, this problem is not spotted unless in combination with [X-Content-Type-Options|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Content-Type-Options] header is present in the HTTP response too. This header effectively discourages browser to guess the Content-Type of the resource.
