Description

Please consider the following code:

ClientBuilder.newClient()
.target("http://localhost")
.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.header(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.get();

which results in:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: /
Accept: application/json
User-Agent: Apache CXF 3.1.2
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Host: localhost
Connection: keep-alive

Expected would be:
...
Content-Type: application/json
...

I'm using the following dependency:
compile 'org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-client:3.1.2'

Is there any way to set the Content-Type on GET requests?
