Description

It's nice to be able to leave off the specification of content type when hand crafting a request (i.e. from the command line) and for our documentation examples.

For example:

curl http://localhost:8983/solr/query -d '
{
  query:"hero"
}'

Note the missing

-H 'Content-type:application/json'

that would otherwise be needed everywhere
