Explore GET requests with content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded

This is happening on all Lumia devices. This triggers a failure here. We can fix this by permitting GET requests with a content-type.

[alexanderdean]

Great catch!

[TimmyCarbone]

+1 !

In the meantime, replaying the event without the content type should fix it ... I guess?

[alexanderdean]

Yes @TimmyCarbone that workaround should fix it.
