### Website URL

[playtimesover.infinityfree.me/app-ads.txt](https://playtimesover.infinityfree.me/app-ads.txt)

### Error Message

We could not accept the media type of the resource at the given App-Ads URL. (rejectHint: (unsupportedMediaType) ) The IAB Ads.txt standard requires its content-type header includes “text/plain”. Review your Developer Website field in the Organization Info section above. If you haven’t already please create your app-ads.txt file

### Other Information

I have created at .txt file called app-ads.txt in the root of my site, it appears to be being served with the content type ‘document’ and not the expected ‘text/plain’

Is that a limit of this service or have I done something dumb?
