Http endpoint contentType element value gets ignored and overwritten with default value

A quick check in the sources doesn't come up with the literal "ContentType" in the Mule sources.

To debug further, can you please provide a test case that demos this problem?

the xqy I post to accepts content with "text/xml" mime type only.

<http:endpoint name="storePhysician" address="http://localhost:8088/.../store.xqy" contentType="text/xml" method="POST" />

sets following request headers

[ContentType: text/xml
, X-MULE_ENDPOINT: http://localhost:8088/.../store.xqy
, X-MULE_REMOTE_SYNC: true
, method: POST
]

"ContentType" should be "Content-Type".

You do not see "ContentType" in Mule sources because it's spring loaded.

When ObjectToHttpClientMethodRequest class trying to read mime type it doesn't find it. Because it's looking for "Content-Type" property and endpoint sets "ContentType".

String mimeType = msg.getStringProperty(HttpConstants.HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE, null);

Since it doesn't find "Content-Type" property on endpoint, it sets default mime type of "text/plain". That's why I have to set <property key="Content-Type" value="text/xml" /> on the http connector and that works but it's a workaround. Basically that should be achieved by "contentType" element of http endpoint.

I hope this helps.

This has been bugging me too. There is some magic bean name processing going on here. May not be such an easy fix. Looking into it.
