Internal Server Error due to wrong Request Content-Type [JIRA: RCS-151]

[pmarques]

Hi, I was trying to use node-aws-sdk to set bucket policies but the SDK sends the request with the wrong Content-Type, "application/octet-stream". I'm not sure if there is something wrong on my side or if AWS S3 also supports this since it is its SDK.

To find the problem I was digging in the SDK code because the server response is just a 500 Internal Server Error. It could be nice to return at least something like "Unaccepted Content-Type in request".

@pmarques Thanks for reporting.

As you indicated, 500 error is a bug of riak cs.
Also, it will be better for riak cs to accept application/octet-stream and whatever other content-type header values because the content of bucket policy request body should be XML and there are no alternatives to negotiate.
