/**
* Sets the response header based on type map index name. This wraps several methods

*
* @param string|array $type Friendly type name, i.e. 'html' or 'xml', or a full content-type,
* like 'application/x-shockwave'.
* @param array $options If $type is a friendly type name that is associated with
* more than one type of content, $index is used to select which content-type to use.
* @return bool Returns false if the friendly type name given in $type does
* not exist in the type map, or if the Content-type header has
* already been set by this method.
