Description

I noticed this as part of the "browse a repository with a web browser" work (https://pulp.plan.io/issues/1512). We're responding with a content type of text/html:

[vagrant@dev ~]$ curl -v -k "https://dev.example.com/pulp/repos/zoo/gorilla-0.62-1.noarch.rpm"
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...

This, of course, makes the browser try its best to render an RPM as html (I snipped that from the above demo). Surprisingly, yum and company seem to handle this fine, but a browser doesn't. We need to (somehow) make sure the content type is set correctly. There may be a setting in mod_xsendfile. If not, we'll need to do it in the WSGI application.
