If the `content-type` header does not exist, we should assume it to be binary 
data and download it. Here is the relevant section from RFC 7231, section 
3.1.1.5:

>  A sender that generates a message containing a payload body SHOULD
>    generate a Content-Type header field in that message unless the
>    intended media type of the enclosed representation is unknown to the
>    sender.  If a Content-Type header field is not present, the recipient

So, we _may_ examine the file (maybe heuristic based on filename) or just 
assume it to be "application/octet-stream"
