In other words, you would like the following sequence of events:
<%
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "foo/bar");
response.setContentType("x-application/my-content-type");
%>
to result in a content type of "foo/bar", despite the fact that the programmer
explicitly sets it? Seems to me you could make a case that this is a bug, just as
strongly as the argument you are making.
I remind you again -- in the case where the servlet spec is not speciific (it is silent
on the topic you are raising regarding content type; not quite so silent on content
length -- see the 2.2 API docs), i.e. it is an interpretation issue, the reference
implementation defines correct behavior. And guess what the reference implementation
here is?
