Hi all, we have to deal with a third-party REST service which in case of error conditions returns this mime type: /*application/problem+json; charset=utf-8*/.
I wrote this RestXQ [1] to mock it. Just copy it into restxq.xqm...
When I call it like [2] I get /*[XPTY0004] Cannot convert xs:base64Binary to xs:string: "IntcImFcIjpcImJcIn0i"*/. This is because the response is seen as a binary and this can be double checked calling with [3]. I felt (maybe wrongly) that specializations of the mimetype had been faced in BaseX implementation of http:request somewhere back in time but I couldn't find anything in the mail archives.
The strange thing however is that I get the same error when calling like [4] with override-mime-type set to text/json or application/json which instead I was expecting to work.
Is the behaviour in this scenario expected or does this hide some inconsistency?
Thanks, as usual, for the support.
Regards,
Marco.
