<p>..this test now fails, as <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/462950" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#462950: Mitigate the security risks that come from IE, Chrome and other browsers trying to sniff the mime type </a></span> added that header to core.</p>
<p>It looks like D8 is the same.</p>
<p>The seckit module is actually mentioned in that core issue as duplicate headers were being emitted by core + seckit.</p>
<p>We should probably remove this option (and the tests) from the seckit module (D7 and D8 branches) now that core outputs this header itself.</p>
<p>Any objections?</p>
