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: -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
