Netcool/Impact REST API returns incorrect content type (atom+xml) for plain text responses

Troubleshooting


Problem

Plain text responses from the Netcool/Impact REST API is returning responses with the wrong content type header.
Instead of returning the "plain/text" content type, the header value is set to "application/atom+xml".
For further information about the REST API, refer to the Accessing policies remotely using the REST API topic.

Symptom

The following request will execute a Netcool/Impact policy:
 
curl -k -u impactadmin:password https://impacthost:9081/restui/policyui/policy/TestPolicy1/run -v
The endpoint replies with a plain text response but the Content-Type header is incorrectly set to "application/atom+xml":
 
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
< Content-Type: application/atom+xml
< Content-Language: en-US
< Content-Length: 37
