This is not true.
If not explicitly set by script together with X-Accel-Redirect -
Content-Type will be set by nginx according to extension of
redirect destination (and types/default_type defined, see [1]).

See above for extension-based detection - this is how it works by
default. Just not returning Content-Type with X-Accel-Redirect is
enough.
If you are talking about content sniffing - no, it's not available
(at all).
