Hi,  
Can nginx automaticly add Content-Type header when there is no  
Content-Type header in backend response with X-Accel-Redirect?

I am taking use of X-Accel-Redirect to do the privacy control for  
static files. And I have to add the Content-Type header by the backend  
CGI programs. If nginx could do so, the backend CGI programs using  
X-Accel-Redirect will feel much better and more efficient.
