How to use "_ctype" in a RESTful webservice

Hello,

I have an RESTful webservice based on CXF.

Some calls have a specific content type, like application/pdf.

To support some clients which cannot modify http header, I wish to use the "_ctype" query parameter to provide the requested content type...

But it seems to not work... (cxf 2.3.8) : "Unsupported media type."

Can you help ?

Anthony

I believe that in CXF 2.3.8 one would need to work with a custom CXF 
interceptor, registered in front of JAXRSInInterceptor, which would 
check Message.QUERY_STRING, and if it has a _ctype query parameter in it 
then it would set its value as a Message.CONTENT_TYPE property on the 
current message - a bit more work but this should do it
