HTTPInput and HTTPRequest nodes should have the option to set the Message Parsing to use the HTTP Header ContentType

HTTPInput and HTTPRequest nodes should have the option to set Message Parsing to use the HTTP Header ContentType

So if it gets Content-Type=application/xml it uses the XMLNSC parser and if it gets Content_Type=application/json it uses the JSON parser

This will permit users to send messages built in different wire formats but with the same logical content to ACE without having to set the Message Parser to BLOB and then determine which parser to use in subsequent code.

It will also help with situations where a Gateway or other intermediate code sends back HTML for errors but the expected JSON or XML for positive path responses.

    Thank you for taking the time to make this suggestion. We agree that using the Content-Type field to dynamically infer a desired parser for the message body would be a valuable addition to the product for some use cases ... In fact when adding the RESTRequest node to the product we took a similar approach and added checkboxes to that node's properties. The same approach could be applied as an option to the HTTPInput and HTTPRequest. Status is updated to Future Consideration.
