-----------------------------------
Summary: Investigate removing default content type
Key: JCLOUDS-595
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-595
Project: jclouds
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jclouds-core
Reporter: Andrew Gaul
Assignee: Jeremy Daggett
Presently {{ContentMetadataBuilder.contentType}} defaults to
"application/unknown". In many cases the application does not known the
content type and might prefer to allow the object store to detect a more
precise type which this default interferes with. From section [7.2.1 of RFC
2616|
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec7.html#sec7.2.1]:

Any HTTP/1.1 message containing an entity-body SHOULD include a Content-Type
header field defining the media type of that body. If and only if the media
type is not given by a Content-Type field, the recipient MAY attempt to guess
the media type via inspection of its content and/or the name extension(s) of
the URI used to identify the resource. If the media type remains unknown, the
recipient SHOULD treat it as type "application/octet-stream".
