Override Content-Type header with proxied requests

[António P. P. Almeida]

Try this.

At the http level define a map directive that maps upstream Content-Types
to the correct ones.

map $upstream_content_type $s3_content_type {
    # S3 -> real...
}

On the location that proxy passes.

proxy_hide_header Content-Type;
add_header Content-Type $s3_content_type;
