Changing content-type programmatically

I just had a similar issue and was using this:
```
if($modx->event->name == 'OnWebPagePrerender' AND $mime_in !== $mime_out)
{
        $modx->resource->ContentType->set('mime_type', $mime_out);
}
```
This was causing other plugins that added CSS, JS etc to break as the content type isn't correct if your plugin isn't fired before the rest. Changing to OnLoadWebDocument seems to have done the trick.

Thanks

Looking at the code, it looks like MODX grabs the content type just after OnWebPageInit, but I think Susan's suggestion looks to be the most likely: OnLoadWebDocument. That fires just before rendering the output starts.

It looks to me like MODX is using the 'contentType' field rather then 'content_type'.
