Hi, I'm writing a webapp which is deployed in G-Reg to add some project-specific services and am running into an exception when attempting to create a symlink to a resource. A snippet of the stack trace is included at the end of this message. This exception seems to be thrown if the media type of the resource I am trying to create the symlink to (the target) has the format "application/vnd.htrc-workset+xml". If I try to create a symlink to a resource that has "application/xml" as media type, for example, everything works correctly.
For our purposes we have defined a few custom media types that we use for our project, such as: application/vnd.htrc-workset+xml application/vnd.htrc-entry+xml ...etc... My attempts at understanding why this exception occurs led me to the following piece of code from [1], lines 170-234. It seems that a regular expression is used to match media types of the format "application/vnd\\.[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\+xml", and for some reason it denies symlink creation requests if the target matches this media type. Why was this necessary? Shouldn't the restriction apply to just "application/vnd.wso2...."-like media types?
