Description

According to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045#section-5.1 there are a lot of characters that are not allowed in the type or subtype fields of a MIME /MediaType. Currently, CXF only checks for '/' in the subtype.

Instead it should be checking for:
tspecials := "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@" /
"," / ";" / ":" / "\" / <">
"/" / "[" / "]" / "?" / "="
; Must be in quoted-string,
; to use within parameter values
