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:
