Description

The 'Working with JMS Text/Bytes Messages and Stomp' section on stomp wiki page (http://activemq.apache.org/stomp.html) explains how inclusion of 'content-length' header affects message transformation on ActiveMQ server.

Now, many libraries that implement STOMP protocol v1.1,1.2 include this header is it is a mandatory header and this breaks compatibility with ActiveMQ.

I think ActiveMQ should consider using "content-type" header to determine the type of message that is being sent instead of relying on inclusion/exclusion of content-length header.
