Sets the default headers for content that will be formatted using this formatter. This method is called from the ObjectContent constructor. This implementation sets the Content-Type header to the value of mediaType if it is not null. If it is null it sets the Content-Type to the default media type of this formatter. If the Content-Type does not specify a charset it will set it using this formatters configured Encoding.

Parameters
- type 
 Type: System.Type- The type of the object being serialized. See ObjectContent. 
- headers 
 Type: HttpContentHeaders- The content headers that should be configured. 
- mediaType 
 Type: MediaTypeHeaderValue- The authoritative media type. Can be null. 
Remarks
Subclasses can override this method to set content headers such as Content-Type etc. Subclasses should call the base implementation. Subclasses should treat the passed in mediaType (if not null) as the authoritative media type and use that as the Content-Type.
