The mime type does not affect the stored file but if you are worried about
it, you could add a flag to the download function and let the user specify
whether the file should be downloaded as binary or text. If the download is
binary use application/octet-stream as the mime type, other wise use
text/plain. Another option is to download all files as binary and use
application/octet-stream.
