Yes, my application is in Java, no I cannot switch to SolrJ because I'm working off legacy code for which I don't have the luxury to refactor..
If my application is sending the wrong Content-Type HTTP header, which part is it and why the same header is working for the other query paths such as: "/solr/db/config/requestHandler?wt=xml" or "/solr/db/schema/fieldtypes/?wt=xml" or "/solr/db/schema/fields/?wt=xml" ?
