Well, http differs from transfer protocols like ftp, sftp, nfs, smb 
etc. by (normally) delivering a MIME Content-type which, according to 
the HTTP protocol, represents a server-supplied mandatory declaration 
of the content type.

The MSIE folk must think this is a disadvantage - seeing that they go 
to extraordinary contortions to overrule that which, according to the 
RFC, is forbidden to be overruled.  But I think most serious users of 
HTTP regard it as a definite advantage.
