Julian Reschke commented on SLING-3175:
---------------------------------------

Here's a test that demonstrates the Java problem:

{code}
package com.greenbytes.httptests;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

import sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection;

import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpExchange;
import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpHandler;
import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer;

public class JavaAcceptHeader {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        InetSocketAddress address = new InetSocketAddress(8000);
        HttpServer httpServer = HttpServer.create(address, 0);

        HttpHandler echoAccept = new HttpHandler() {

            public void handle(HttpExchange exchange) throws IOException {
                byte[] response = 
exchange.getRequestHeaders().get("Accept").toString().getBytes();
                exchange.sendResponseHeaders(HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK, 
response.length);
                exchange.getResponseBody().write(response);
                exchange.close();
            }
        };
        httpServer.createContext("/", echoAccept);
        httpServer.start();

        URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8000/";);
        URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new 
InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
        System.out.println(in.readLine());
        httpServer.stop(0);
    }
}
{code}

I have submitted a bug report to Oracle, let's see what happens.

> While making a call to Sling using Java URLConnection we get following 
> exception [1]. The root cause is due to parsing of invalid {{Accept}} header 
> being sent as part of request
> {noformat}
> Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
> {noformat}
> The problem here is that this header is added by JDK itself [0] and at times 
> its not possible to change the request property of URLConnection created by 
> third party library. Would be helpful to make Sling MediaRange parser more 
> linient
