Hi, it's probably some Spring MVC automatism doing that, picking a suitable content type from the default ones, as the code is returning a response that is plain text without indicating the desired content type for it. Here is the specific example, but I believe all other "POST" responses in the REST API are in the same situation:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/5424f5bf6384869a7e629d775230a4d4bb3cbb75/src/restconfig/src/main/java/org/geoserver/rest/catalog/WorkspaceController.java#L146 I'd open a bug report first, and then as usual, pull request with a fix and tests are more than welcomed: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md See also: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Successfully-requesting-and-integrating-fixes,-improvements-and-new-features-in-GeoServer Cheers Andrea On Thu, Apr 11, 2019 at 7:18 PM Rui Maciel <rui.mac...@spinworks.pt> wrote: > I've noticed that sending a HTTP POST request to /workspaces with a > valid request body document leads GeoServer to return a response that > mixes a content-type of 'application/json' but a response body that is > not valid JSON (i.e., the text string with the workspace name as > specified in the response body). > > > This behavior causes problems in some cases.
