Description

When generating the response to a directory (trailing slash in the request URL), the default GET servlet checks whether one of a configured list of index files exists. If such a file exists it is returned. This mechanism, though, fails to set the response content type because the index file is included in the request and included request handling does not (always) set the response content type.

This is particulary the case if the file to include is a file to be spooled back by the Default GET servlet itself.
