expected content type failure when there is no body

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Run this test:

  expect().contentType(ContentType.JSON).when().get("test");

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

  If no body is returned but there is a response header with the content type an exception will be produced indicating that the expected content type was not received. It says the content type is an empty string.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

  1.6.3-SNAPSHOT from https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/

Please provide any additional information below.

  The problem lies in the class HttpResponseContentTypeFinder. This class does not return the actual content type when there is no body. I guess this is wrong.

I can't reproduce this. I have a scalatra resource that looks like this:

get("/contentTypeButNoBody") {
    contentType = "application/json"
  }

and my tests looks like this:

expect().contentType("application/json").when().get("/contentTypeButNoBody");

And it works..
