Content-Type seems to work in console out, but it's not really working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Global Params are:

RestAssured.defaultParser = Parser.XML;
RestAssured.urlEncodingEnabled = true;

Run a test like this one:

given().log().all().
    param("foo", "bar").
    contentType(ContentType.XML.withCharset("utf-8")).
when().
    get("/service");

OR:

given().log().all().
    param("foo", "bar").
    header("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8").
when().
    get("/service");

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

With .log().all() I see an output I expect, but it's not really there,
with sniffing on the original request (e.g WireShark) I see that there is no 
Content-Type...

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

rest-assured-2.3.4

Please provide any additional information below.

Other Headers are working.

This only seem to happen on GET requests since they shouldn't have content. Why 
do you need a content-type for a GET request? Are you sure you're not mistaken 
it for a accept header?

You're right. I do a request to a Tomcat Servlet. And the Tomcat config has the 
flag useBodyEncodingForURI="true". So it works for requests from other tools if 
i set right encoding through headers.

I try to fix my problem with another flag: URIEncoding="UTF-8"
But I'm not sure if I'll get other problems, if legacy requests do GET requests 
with setting encoding through header other than UTF-8.

Thanks.

I've actually fixed it in master. I'll push a new snapshot soon.

I've published a new snapshot now. Please try it out by depending on version 
2.3.5-SNAPSHOT after having added the following maven repository:

<repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>sonatype</id>
            <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
            <snapshots />
        </repository>
</repositories>

I am facing same issue with version 2.4.0. Mine is not the maven project, so do

Thanks.

Could you give me an example of when it's not working? What's your code?

My application sends response based on the request content type.
I am explicitly setting content typs as "application/json" in "get" request. In 
request log also i see its setting it, but its not passing any content type to 
server. So my application by default assume its as xml and sends back xml 
response, but i expect json response.

Below is my request.

String response =
            given().
                contentType("application/json").
                header("Content-Type", "application/json").
                log().all().
            expect().
                statusCode(200).
                log().all().
            when().
                get(url).body().asString();

Thanks.
