JAX-RS: A 406 status could should be returned for an improperly formatted
Accept header
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-3822
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3822
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JAX-RS
Affects Versions: 2.4.2, 2.3.6
Environment: Java 1.6
Reporter: Ka-Lok Fung
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.3.7, 2.4.3, 2.5
If you send an Accept header that doesn't contain a /, CXF's JAX-RS
implementation returns a HTTP status of 500 (Internal Server Error). Instead of
this status, it would be preferred if a HTTP status of 406 (Not Acceptable) is
returned.
Here's the test header:
bq. {{Accept: foo}}
Here's the current response:
bq. {{Status Code: 500 org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Media type separator
is missing}}
Here's the preferred response:
bq. {{Status Code: 406 Not Acceptable}}
I've attached a potential patch against trunk for this issue:
