Bug description:
  [Impact]

   Go before 1.14.8 and 1.15.x before 1.15.1 allows XSS because
  text/html is the default for CGI/FCGI handlers that lack a Content-
  Type header.

  [Test Case]

   3. curl -i -o - http://localhost:8000
   4. Observe the output.

  In an affected golang build the output will say:
  Content-Type: text/html (...)
  while in the fixed version it should recognize the content type correctly as:
  Content-Type: image/png

  [Where problems could occur]

   * It may affect deployments where go apps are used as CGI scripts -

  require fixing it.
