Hi all 

We have an app using Laszlo XML RPC rather heaviliy, our version is 4.0.8. 

Looking at the logs one sees that the REQUESTS produced by our client for 
XML-RPC are of type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 

(which makes sense - it is the correct content-type for a POST request). 

However the RESPONSEs are of type "application/x-shockwave-flash" which is 
strange. 

We would expect the reponse type to be text/xml or something like that. This is 
creating a real-world problem for us on various consumers e.g. JMeter - which 
expect the text/xml to function correctly. 

Do you have any experience with this issue? Suggestions or workarounds? 

Detailed info from the logs is below. 

Thanks 

Gilad 

P.S. For example: something like the following response headers 

---------------- 

HTTP/1.1 200 OK 
Expires: Fri, 05 Oct 2001 00:00:00 GMT 
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:51:13 GMT 
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 
Cache-Control: no-store 
Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash 
Content-Length: 437 
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 

---------------- 

is returned from the following request:
