I'll just add: Bastien has recommended this many times, and so has Alexey, most recently in bug #201545.

It would require removing the SoupContentSniffer feature. Note that feature might be added by default now (check the SoupSession documentation), so just removing it from the SoupSession initialization isn't enough because that is probably redundant. It should be explicitly removed.
