 - `actix_web::response::builder::HttpResponseBuilder::streaming()` now sets `Content-Type` to `application/octet-stream` if `Content-Type` does not exist.
 - `actix_web::response::builder::HttpResponseBuilder::streaming()` now calls `actix_web::response::builder::HttpResponseBuilder::no_chunking()` if `Content-Length` is set by user.
