Dynamically set Content-Type via @RequestHeader

[sixcorners]

I want to set the Content-Type header programatically. When I try this happens:

Caused by: feign.codec.EncodeException: Invalid mime type "{Content-Type}": does not contain '/'
	at feign.ReflectiveFeign$BuildEncodedTemplateFromArgs.resolve(ReflectiveFeign.java:346)

@FeignClient("x")
public interface XClient {
	@RequestMapping(value = "/api/something/{id}", method = POST)
	void x(@RequestHeader("Content-Type") String contentType, @PathVariable("id") Integer id,
		@RequestBody InputStream inputStream);
}

I ended up having to set a X-Content-Type2 header and setting up one of these:

@Bean
public RequestInterceptor contentTypeFilter() {
	return (req) -> {
		req.header("Content-Type", req.headers().get("X-Content-Type2").iterator().next());
	};
}

I am using:
spring-cloud-netflix-core-1.2.5.RELEASE.jar

I dont believe you can set it programmatically using @RequestHeader, I believe we only support doing it via the consumes property of @RequestMapping.

[sixcorners]

Is it possible to add support?
Would it be a good idea to feed it to the @RequestMapping annotation using SpEL?

I have same problem. Can I know some due date for this issue? My FeignClient request need to resend some header param from client application so I need dynamic value of header param.
Is some other option for this case? Thanks.

@thomasharin no due date. You can always use a RequestInterceptor.

This would have to be changed inside Spring MVC, am I right?

Did you find any solution for it?
