GET methods fail to serve requests without Content-Type if the class/interface has @Consumes

When the JAX-RS resource (the method with @GET) is accessed from a web browser, the Content-Type is not set and it's default to application/octet-stream. Wink fails to match to the method as it inherits @Consumes (say, application/json) from the class/interface and it is not compatible with application/octet-stream. For example:

@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public interface Catalog {
@GET
List<Item> get();

@GET
@Path("

{id}

")
Item get(@PathParam("id") String id);
}

The GET method doesn't have the request entity. Why do we need to compare the media type for the request? I assume we should only check the methods that take the HTTP body.

I had to work around this issue for Tuscany to add / or application/octet-stream to the GET method's consumes set. It's ugly .

String method = methodMetadata.getHttpMethod();

}
fixed = true;
