Description

If a request is sent with too long an URL for GET, the Solr server responds as follows:

HTTP/1.1 413 FULL head

Content-Length: 0
Connection: close
Server: Jetty(8.1.10.v20130312)

oascsi.HttpSolrServer.executeMethod currently in such a situation, goes ahead and tries to parse a Content-Type header in such a case and ends up with a SolrServerException: Error executing query caused by org.apache.http.ParseException: Invalid content type.
