Description
I have a pretty standard implementation using the following:
```typescript
import serverlessExpress from '@vendia/serverless-express';
import { app } from '../app/app';
export const handler = serverlessExpress({ app });
```
and an endpoint that responds the following:
```typescript
healthCheck(request: Request, response: Response): Response {
const apiResponse = new ApiResponse({});
return response.json(apiResponse);
}
// apiResponse -> {"data":{},"code":200,"message":"Success"}
```
It's running over an AWS ALB, but the content-type being returned (wrongly) is application/octet-stream.
Is there any configuration to avoid this issue?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the TypeScript serverless-express handler behind an AWS Application Load Balancer and inspect the response headers for the health-check endpoint. The issue is done when the JSON response is returned with an application/json content type rather than application/octet-stream.
