Is there a way I can override the Content-Type header in ApplicationCall#respondFile? It seems like using wrapHeaders in the configure block doesn't have access to the headers that are later appended, and Ktor uses an unsatisfactory way of getting the content type for me (using the file extension). I assume I would be able to emulate respondFile if all else fails, but that would likely mean having to handle partial gets as well and so I'd like to avoid it if possible. I'm currently getting a result like this when appending the Content-Type manually.

The easiest way is to use the LocalFileContent class directly:

routing {
    get {
        call.respond(LocalFileContent(File("file.jpg"), contentType = ContentType.Text.Plain))
    }
}
