SoapUI POST/PUT without media type - is this supported

[dabrochu]

Using SoapUI 1.7.0

A bug was found in one of our APIs due to the Spring Framework version we upgraded to. The issue is that when a POST or PUT is provided without providing Content Type: application/json, a 415 is returned. This was introduced in a newer version of Spring.

Anyhow, I'd like to set up tests such that we could test for this going forward. It appears however that by default when creating a POST or PUT in SoapUI that media type is set to application/json. I am able to change the value of this in the dropdown, but I can't seem to find a way to neglect to send the header all together. Is this currently possible? If so, how?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can ue a Groovy script to remove the header in an event handler.

Using RequestFilter.filterRequest event handler:

context.getProperty("httpMethod").removeHeaders("Content-Type") // remove Content-Type header
