mdsrv REST API responses have default Content-Type header 'text/html'

[ismaelresp]

The mdsrv REST API commands that do not trigger a file download generate responses with 'text/html' Content-Type (mimetype) header. This content-types does not match the given output.

I recommend adding the following content-types:

• mdsrv/dir: 'application/json'
• mdsrv/traj/numframes: 'text/plain; charset="UTF-8"'
• mdsrv/traj/frame: 'application/octet-stream'
• mdsrv/traj/path: 'application/octet-stream'

This content-type mismatches cause conflicts when the reponse is not direclty handled by the ngl viewer (e.g. intermediate proxies, debuggers, third-party applications, etc.) especially when binary data is processed as text.
