Description

There are still issues with VirtualHost#publishMessage:

• if the REST request body contains an empty object ("{}") an (non-fatal) NPE occurs on the broker and the client receives a 500
• if the "address" argument is missing or incorrect the message is silently dropped (also no log message). The client receives a 200 regardless.
• Message download for messages published via REST seems broken in at least one case: {"message":{"address":"foo","content":"bar","mimeType":"text/plain"}} appears correct in the message preview in the View Message dialogue and the mimeType is also correct but when downloading the message the content is not correctly encoded. I could not find an encoding that gave me "bar". I did not investigate to see whether I could figure out what the bytes are.
