Ka-Lok Fung updated CXF-3822: ----------------------------- Description: If you send an Accept header that doesn't contain a slash (/), 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: was: 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).
