HttpFS server should check that upload requests have correct content-type
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2705
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2705
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.24.0, 0.23.1
Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur
Fix For: 0.24.0, 0.23.1
The append/create requests should require 'application/octet-stream' as
content-type when uploading data. This is to prevent the default content-type
form-encoded (used as default by some HTTP libraries) to be used or text based
content-types to be used.
If the form-encoded content type is used, then Jersey tries to process the
upload stream as parameters
If a test base content-type is used, HTTP proxies/gateways could do attempt
some transcoding on the stream thus corrupting the data.
