Anshum Gupta commented on SOLR-7405:
------------------------------------
+1 on not fixing this now for sure.
It's a nice feature/convenience to have for people using _curl_ and we could
note that somewhere in the ref guide e.g. say "Solr auto-detects the content
type for curl and so it is not essential to specify the content type when using
curl" but removing this from all examples would lead to information loss w.r.t
to the ref guide. For the sake of ref-guide users, I think it's good to have
the command as a super-set instead of a reduced version.
The only way I could think of removing all mentions of content type from the
example curl commands is if we have a page that explains what to do when Solr
asks for a content type, also explaining why is that the behavior.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7405
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Hoss Man
> Priority: Minor
>
> SOLR-7217 added a special work arround to solr to autodetect the correct
> content-type if the user-agent indicates curl is in use and the content-type
> specified is the curl default ("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
> while this is certianly a nice to have convenience for people who forget to
> specify a Content-Type when using curl, there was quite a bit of back and
> forth on the ref guide TODO page about wether all example curl calls in the
> ref guide should explicitly take advantage of this for brevity.
> I'm opening this issue in the interest of having a more structured place for
> this discussion.
