Spring MVC Generated, no Content-Type in Request Header on GETs

[mherb63]

Downloaded Swagger Pet Store (Simple) from swagger.io editor and did a mvn jetty:run

When opening up DevTools on Chrome, I don't see the header Content-Type field being set.

This is on the GET /pets{id}

adding --header "Content-Type: application/json" to the curl command returns no errors

For Get request, you do not need the "Content-Type" header. The URL should start with /v2 instead of /api.

I did a curl test and the result looks ok:

$ curl -v http://localhost:8002/v2/pet/1
*   Trying ::1...
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 8002 (#0)
> GET /v2/pet/1 HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:8002
> User-Agent: curl/7.43.0
> Accept: */*
> 
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2015 07:03:26 GMT
< Content-Length: 0
< Server: Jetty(9.2.9.v20150224)
< 
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact

Why do you say the URL should start with /v2? This is generated code from the swagger.io editor page. Your test doesn't prove anything.

[wing328]

Can you try the Petstore (full) instead of Petstore (simple)? Petstore (full) works for me.

[mherb63]

yes, petstore full does indeed work. But, I have the same issue in my application as Petstore simple. When I do a GET in my app, springboot throws the following:

I noticed that petstore simple has defined application/json in top-level consumes, which probably explains why the server is expecting content-type application/json in the request.

Do you have something similar defined in top-level consumes in your swagger spec?

[mherb63]

Oh, good catch. Yes I do have that. I will try removing it.

Just removed the "consumes=application/json" from my GETs in my controller and its working properly.

Thank You!

[wing328]

No problem. Glad to see that your issue is now resolved.
