The content-type is set to the content type of the encoder. See here: https://github.com/jgritman/httpbuilder/blob/master/src/main/java/groovyx/net/http/EncoderRegistry.java#L333
For the xml encoder that is "application/xml". See here (the first entry in the list is taken to be the default content-type): https://github.com/jgritman/httpbuilder/blob/master/src/main/java/groovyx/net/http/ContentType.java#L67 Your best bet is to enable debugging in the apache http client to see what is actually being sent.
