The issue is that some webservers use text/plain as fall-back when they don't 
know the correct mimetype.
So text/plain should be treated like application/octet, that is as unknown 
mimetype when received from http, that will make the actual mimetype be 
detected by magic.

So maybe the fix should be done in kio_http?
