[TinyOWS-dev] Content-type in a WFS post request

[Normand Savard]

I noticed that tinyows accepts only "text/xml" as content-type.  Tinyows 
rejects "application/xml;  charset=UTF-8" content-type.  I'm wondering  
why this is the case.  I googled a little bit and cannot find a clear 
answer.  Can someone shed some light on this?

The relevant code is:

  /* GET could only handle KVP */
    if (cgi_method_get()) o->cgi = cgi_parse_kvp(o, query);
    /* POST could handle KVP or XML encoding */
    else if (cgi_method_post()) {
        if (strcmp(getenv("CONTENT_TYPE"),
                    "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") == 0)
            o->cgi = cgi_parse_kvp(o, query);
        else if (strcmp(getenv("CONTENT_TYPE"), "text/xml") == 0)
            o->cgi = cgi_parse_xml(o, query);
#if OWS_BUGGY_CITE_TEST
        /* TODO report this bug to OGC CITE */
        else if (strcmp(getenv("CONTENT_TYPE"),
                    "application/xml; charset=UTF-8") == 0)
            o->cgi = cgi_parse_xml(o, query);
#endif
    /* Unit Test case with XML values (not HTTP) */
    } else if (!cgi_method_post() && !cgi_method_get() && query[0] == '<')
        o->cgi = cgi_parse_xml(o, query);
    else ows_error(o, OWS_ERROR_REQUEST_HTTP,
            "Wrong HTTP request Method", "http");
