    Description

      The Content-Type header is not sent by the error-page filter handler. This This does not appear to be configurable and is problematic when operating Wildfly behind an Apache instance where the Content-Type "text/plain" is added. This forces the content to be displayed as text even if it is HTML.

      Here is the undertow subsystem configuration:

              <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:undertow:1.2">

      You can see that we attempted to place a filter on the host to set the Content-type header if a 404 response code was received. However, after debugging the undertow subsystem, we found that the HttpServerExchange value in EqualsPredicate had a response code of 200 at the time the predicate was evluated.

      This behaves the same in Wildfly 8.2.0 and Wildfly 9.0.0 CR2.
