What cgit-version are you running? This option was added in cgit-0.8.3
(2009-09-13).

If your cgit has support for mimetype options, you probably have
caching enabled, i.e. you're watching the old output (including
Content-Type header).

Yes, the pdf will be displayed in your browser if your browser supports pdfs.
