Hi Rico,
The problem seems to be with your usage of Curl which doesn't specify
the media type of your file. You probably need to set the
"Content-Type" header manually to "application/xml". This is the value
you will retrieve via "entity.getMediaType()".
The getVariants() method is only used for GET method calls, not for PUT.
Best regards,
Jerome
