Robert Muir commented on SOLR-5517:
-----------------------------------
I disagree that the http spec says unknown content-type should be
application/octet stream. It does not really say this, you have to read it all
in context.
HTTP: (discussing content-type in general, and not POST in particular)
{quote}
If and only if the media type is not given by a Content-Type field, the
recipient MAY attempt to guess the media type via inspection of its content
and/or the name extension(s) of the URL used to identify the resource. *If the
media type remains unknown*, the recipient SHOULD treat it as type
"application/octet-stream"
{quote}
> Treat POST with no Content-Type as application/x-www-form-urlencoded

> While the http spec states requests without a content-type should be treated
> as application/octet-stream, the html spec says instead that post requests
> without a content-type should be treated as a form
> (http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_8.html#SEC8.2.1). It would be
> nice to allow large search requests from html forms, and not have to rely on
> the browser to set the content type (since the spec says it doesn't have to).
