Sergey Beryozkin commented on CXF-3822:
---------------------------------------
Lets go for 406 for now :-), given that 415 is currently returned in case of
malformed Content-Type; 400 can be introduced if JAX-RS 2.0 will recommend it
> JAX-RS: A 406 status could should be returned for an improperly formatted
> Accept header

> If you send an Accept header that doesn't contain a slash (i.e., /), 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:
