BOSH too picky about content-type with requests

Hello, i was wondering if there are other people who are facing
problems with strophe on ie8 with a openfire server. My IE and firefox
clients were sending almost the same stanza to request roster
information. The firefox client got a answer from the openfire server
but IE8 didn't get one (a 404 status). I decided to look at wireshark
to see the differences. Firefox sends a Content-Type: text/plain but
IE8 didn't which caused the openfire sever to answer the request with
a 404.
I've added this line of code in the Strophe library after line 2503:
req.xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain;charset=UTF-8");
After this everything worked fine.
My question is, is there a way to change this without modifying the
Strophe library javascript file?
Environment
IE8 Strophe
Activity
fixed in 3.7.2?
Removing the 'fix version' for all unresolved issues that were scheduled for version 7.8.2. We're releasing this version today - the remaining issues should be rescheduled later.
I can't reproduce this with 3.9.1 (and probably 3.8.2 works as well).
I've sent no Content-Type in the HTTP header and checked, that Openfire's HttpBindServlet indeed got no Content-Type. But nonetheless, the BOSH connection worked.
It also worked with another content-type, like "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
So, is this still an issue?
Closing, we can always reopen if somebody notes that they are reproducing it.
