Revolution 2.0. Dynamic changing ContentType

Hello! I have a problem. It needs different "Content-Type" for IE and for Others Browsers.
So I want to send to NON-IE-browsers ’Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml’ and to IE ’Content-Type: text/html’.
(IE could not properly process ’Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml’).
So it’s very simple decision, if no CMS used:

<?php 
   if(preg_match('|application/xhtml\+xml|i',$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']))
      header('Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml');
   else
      header('Content-Type: text/html');
?>

but i’m not really know how to integrate this decision into MODx Revolution 2.0.8. May be i should wrote a plugin, which should executes on ’OnWebPagePrerender’ event?
Is anybody could help me with code?

A plugin OnWebPagePrerender should work with that code, though I would add something limiting execution of the preg_match() to when the current Resource’s ContentType matches, e.g.

<?php
if ($modx->resource->ContentType->get('mime_type') == 'application/xhtml+xml') {
    if (preg_match('|application/xhtml\+xml|i', $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'])) {
        header('Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml');
    } else {
        header('Content-Type: text/html');
    }
}

YEAH! Amazing! Big thanks, OpenGeek!! So the final decision is:
1) At CMS i’m used for every Resource default ContentType: "text/html"
2) Wrote plugin, which firing ’OnWebPagePrerender’;
3) The plugin’s code is:

<?php
  if (preg_match('|application/xhtml\+xml|i', $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']))
    $modx->resource->ContentType->set('mime_type','application/xhtml+xml');

So, if the browser do not supports ContentType ’application/xhtml+xml’ (e.g. IE 5.5 - IE 8.0), header ’Content-Type’, would not be modified (so ’Content-Type: text/html’ will be send).
Otherwise header would be modified to ’Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml’.

It’s was necessary for me to using inline-svg. laugh
