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 > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-5517 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5517 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ryan Ernst > Attachments: SOLR-5517.patch > > > 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).
