# ContentType
Handling Content-Type auto-detection
{: .subtitle }
The Content-Type middleware sets the `Content-Type` header value to the media type detected from the response content,
when it is not set by the backend.
!!! info
The scope of the Content-Type middleware is the MIME type detection done by the core of Traefik (the server part).
Therefore, it has no effect against any other `Content-Type` header modifications (e.g.: in another middleware such as compress).
## Configuration Examples
```yaml tab="Docker"
# Enable auto-detection
labels:
- "traefik.http.middlewares.autodetect.contenttype=true"
```
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
# Enable auto-detection
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
kind: Middleware
metadata:
name: autodetect
spec:
contentType: {}
```
```yaml tab="Consul Catalog"
# Enable auto-detection
- "traefik.http.middlewares.autodetect.contenttype=true"
```
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
# Enable auto-detection
