Configuring X-Content-Type-Options

There are two settings:

Configuration	Resulting header
enabled=”false”	None
enabled=”true”	X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

Register the middleware in the OWIN startup class:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
    ...

    app.UseStaticFiles();

    app.UseXContentTypeOptions();

    app.UseMvc(...);
}

Or as an MVC attribute (which defaults to true):

[XContentTypeOptions]
[XContentTypeOptions(Enabled = false)]

The header is omitted for redirects.
