Description:
------------
When the configuration directive default_mimetype is not set (empty), the CLI server sends an empty Content-Type header, which violates RFC 2616.

FPM, for example, does not send the header at all (expected behavior).

Test script:
---------------
<?php

ini_set('default_mimetype', '');

Expected result:
----------------
$ curl -I http://example.com/test.php
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Host: example.com
Connection: close
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.0.0beta2

Actual result:
--------------
$ curl -I http://example.com/test.php
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Host: example.com
Connection: close
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.0.0beta2
Content-type:

Confirmed for PHP 5.6.11 as well. That appears to be a general
SAPI issue[1]. If get_default_content_type() returns an empty
string, the Content-Type header is send nonetheless, what is wrong
anyway.

RFC 7231 states[2]:

| A sender that generates a message containing a payload body
| SHOULD generate a Content-Type header field in that message
| unless the intended media type of the enclosed representation is
| unknown to the sender.

So yes, not sending any Content-Type header seems to be reasonable
in this case.

This issue is still valid with PHP 7.0.0-RC3. This fix should be very simple and straightforward, could someone look into it?

Confirmed this is also an issue on PHP 5.5.30.
