             Summary: Ripple proxy is not detecting `Content-Type: application/json` properly and mishandling the request
                 Key: RIPPLE-60
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIPPLE-60
             Project: Apache Ripple
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Farid Nouri Neshat
            Priority: Minor


Reduced test case:

1. Create a dummy server: nc -lp 1999
2. Make the following request:

{code:javascript}
curl 'http://localhost:4400/ripple/xhr_proy=ABC&tinyhippos_rurl=http%3A//localhost%3A1999' -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8' --data '{"name":"a"}'
{code}

Note that the Content-Type is `application/json;charset=UTF-8` and the body is {{"name":"a"}}. But on the dummy server you see `content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8` and the body is `name=a`.

And then you wonder why this have happened. In the code json content type is detected like this: `req.get("content-type") === "application/json"`, which fails in this case.

I'll be working on this and making a pull request shortly.
