Notice that you can setup apache to send text/plain as a default content type =/.
Just had a discussion about how much data is required for content sniffing with g_content_type_guess(). xdgmime lists this in http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html#id2554163 in the MAX_EXTENT property. On my current Ubuntu this value is 2141. So with 4k downloaded you will get a 100% perfect content sniffing.

Comment on attachment 29169 [details] Also sniff content of types declared as text/plain. The only fix for this case is not trusting what the server sends as Content Type for the file, and sniffing. I think also sniffing when we get text/plain is correct because many servers are configured to send text/plain as a default content type.

Comment on attachment 29169 [details] Also sniff content of types declared as text/plain. r=me. Please note that we should eventually move to a cross-platform implementation of content sniffing, to ensure that all platforms work the same way.
Landed as r42170 and r42171.
