>From a previous discussion (link below), I note that com.noelios.restlet.util.SecurityUtils compensates for a JDK bug by setting content-type to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" when the java version is less than 1.5.10.
Unfortunately, the patch number does not apply to Apple's JVM. I'm running 1.5.07, and the compensation results in a bad authenticator. With the source from trunk, if I comment out that bit so it will always be "" when no content-type is sepcified, authentication works fine.
