Steps to reproduce:
Clicked on a link to https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/httpclient/examples/org/apache/http/examples/client/ProxyTunnelDemo.java (more links at https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/examples.html) which has Content-Type: text/x-java

It's very likely the same as Bug 57342, but that bug is very old and has a lot of discussion, so working there may be a bit of a nightmare. I'd rather suggest to keep both.
It's interesting to note how Chrome just opens these text/* as text/plain, while Bug 57342 tried for years to come up with some kind of UI... IT would be nice to understand what are their heuristics here.
