request.getContentType() returns the content-type of data that
*accompanies* the request from the client;
eg, in the case of a POST, it is most likely application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
In your case, there is no data that accompanies the request, the request
contains only a URI that it
is up to your handler to process and return.
