Description

When there is no content type in the response synapse set the default content type as "application/octet-stream".
The HTTP Spec only talks about dealing with Content-Types and assuming "application/ocet-stream" for messages, containing an entity-body [1]. As we are not providing an entity body, the ESB should not infer a Content-Type.
Instead of, the ESB just should pass through the response to the client without adding a Content-Type.
