Bug #54381 --> if we are loading an http url that ends in .dll and the server didn't

give us a content type, then assume it is an unknown content type instead of
looking it up in the OS. This fixes the case were sites use ISAPI.dll and don't
specify content types.

// We had to do this same hack in 4.x. Sometimes, we run an http url that ends in special
// extensions like .dll, .exe, etc and the server doesn't provide a specific content type
// for the document. In actuality the document is really text/html (sometimes). For these cases,
// we don't want to ask the mime service for the content type
// because it will make incorrect conclusions based on the file extension. Instead, set the content type
// to unknown and allow our unknown content type decoder a chance to sniff the data stream and conclude
// a content type.
