content-type of static file header

[yitao]

My env is window7 x64 &python2.7
I only want to build my webapp with web.py . but i don't want use apache or nginx .
Then the content-type is "application/x-css" in response header when i request a css file .
It worked on ie8 but not on chrome-45 and firefox-43 .
So i change this code of httpserver.py in the 216 line(class StaticApp, func send_header , the 1 line):
--code like this--
self.headers.append((name, value)) ---> self.headers.append((name, "application/octet-stream"))
-- end --
So, Anybody can tell me why it worked.? Does it mean we can set the content-type also is "application/octet-stream"? and let the browser does other thing like parse file content-type ?
thanks

--code like this--
self.headers.append((name, value)) --->
if name == "content-type":
self.headers.append((name, "application/octet-stream" if value=="application/x-css" else value))
else:
self.headers.append((name, value))
-- end --
