Bryant Luk commented on WINK-172:
---------------------------------
I've gone ahead and changed the toleration for {code}"*"{code} to a
{code}"*/*"{code} since some JDKs and other clients have an Accept header with
"*" in it by default and there's no chance to change that code.
On some thought, for changing the "text/" to "text/*" or other invalid accept
headers, the right response may be a 400 response instead of the current 500
(or skipping invalid media types). I'm leaning more towards the 400 instead of
encouraging bad behavior.
> Improve invalid media type toleration

> Key: WINK-172

> Project: Wink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Common
> Affects Versions: 0.2
> Reporter: Bryant Luk

>
> Improve the toleration of invalid media types. Certain common client code
> send invalid media type headers. For those cases, I think it's easier to
> just skip invalid media types or to "correct" those media types.
> The two I think should be corrected:
> "*" turn to MediaType.WILDCARD
> "text/" (missing subtype) turn to "text/*" (or as appropriate)
> The rest I think should be tolerated as invalid if possible (i.e. skip the
> invalid media type).
