    Description

      An http form post without a "Content-Type" header causes a NullPointerException in org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.BaseHttpRequest.getFormParameters.

      While it is probably okay to throw an exception, it is very hard to figure out the reason for a NullPointerException deep in the implementation.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
