Uwe Schindler commented on SOLR-5517:
-------------------------------------
We should not allow empty content-type for any of the request parsers. The
current patch only changes the StandardRequestParser. But also RawRequestParser
should complain about null content type. Also stuff like MultiPart should
require a Content-Type. The FormDataRequestParser is the only one correctly
complaining. The MultiPart one only complains if the whole request is not a
MultiPart one. But if one of the file items has no content type, it lets this
through. This would also prevent possible NPEs in the RequestHandlers, because
not all of them correctly check for non-null.

> 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).
