    724    Content-Type specifies the media type of the underlying data.
     724   Content-Type specifies the media type of the underlying data. Any
     725   HTTP/1.1 message containing an entity-body &SHOULD; include a
     726   Content-Type header field defining the media type of that body. If
     727   the Content-Type header field is not present, it indicates that the
     728   sender does not know the media type of the data; recipients &MAY;
     729   either assume that it is "application/octet-stream" (<xref target="RFC2046" x:fmt="," x:sec="4.5.1"/>)
     730   or examine the content to determine its type.

    725733   Content-Encoding may be used to indicate any additional content
    726734   codings applied to the data, usually for the purpose of data
    727    compression, that are a property of the requested resource. There is
     735   compression, that are a property of the requested resource.  There is
    728736   no default encoding.

    730738<t>
    731    Any HTTP/1.1 message containing an entity-body &SHOULD; include a
    732    Content-Type header field defining the media type of that body. If
    733    and only if the media type is not given by a Content-Type field, the
    734    recipient &MAY; attempt to guess the media type via inspection of its
    735    content and/or the name extension(s) of the URI used to identify the
    736    resource. If the media type remains unknown, the recipient &SHOULD;
    737    treat it as type "application/octet-stream" (<xref target="RFC2046" x:fmt="," x:sec="4.5.1"/>).
     739   Note that neither the interpretation of the data type of a message nor
     740   the behaviors caused by it are defined by HTTP; this
     741   potentially includes examination of the content to override any
     742   indicated type ("sniffing")<iref item="Content Type Sniffing"/>.
