Description

If a request is sent without the Content-Type header parameter, a server exception javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException: HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type is raised [1] and the below server error log is printed. 

_

{org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.JAXRSUtils}

- No message body reader has been found for class java.lang.String, ContentType: application/octet-stream_

Since this is a client error, it should not be handled as a server exception.
