Firstly, I was clearly sufficiently specific, in that it lead you to an
answer.
Secondly, I couldn't be very much more specific than I was, as you didn't
mention any details of your hosting situation in your original post.
(Operating system, server software, scripting languages, level of access,
etc.)

Replace that line with a real content type. For example, if the file is a
PDF, then the Content-Type should be "application/pdf". If it's a JPEG,
then "image/jpeg". If you are really unable to determine the correct
content type, use "application/octet-stream".
Using made-up content types like the one you've used above may seem to be
"convenient", but it harms the web as a whole.
