POST'ing application/xml returning "HTTP/1.1 400 Write request body invalid." for valid xml

[firehooper]

There seems to be a difference between:

Using application/vnd.eventstore.events+xml" with ES body specifing ES-EventType and ES-EventId
and
application/xml with headers specifing ES-EventType and ES-EventId

text/xml posts, but read side does not embed body.

application/xml returns "HTTP/1.1 400 Write request body invalid." for valid xml.

Reproducer:
echo "<foo>abc</foo>" | curl -i -H "ES-EventType: SomeEvent" -H "ES-EventId: C322E299-CB73-4B47-97C5-5054F9207461" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d @- http://127.0.0.1:2113/streams/newstream

Is the culprit. Note text/xml is handled differently than application/xml. application/xml is getting processed as events+xml (should be moved up with text/xml) and my guess is the content type isn't getting set on the text/xml which is why it isn't showing up though not 100% positive on this part.

I would just fix now but also needs some tests around this and don't have the time at the moment.

I took care of the first part. Need to look more. Does TryHarder include it instead of body?

We should be on this during the week and likely will point release a fix.

Cheers,

Thanks. When reading a POST'ed text/xml event using: http http://127.0.0.1:2113/streams/newstream/0?embed=TryHarder "Accept:application/atom+xml" does not include the data of the event (raw or parsed).
Although http http://127.0.0.1:2113/streams/newstream/0?embed=TryHarder "Accept:application/vnd.eventstore.atom+json" does return the raw xml string under "data".

Currently embed is only supported in json (as stated in the documentation here http://docs.geteventstore.com/http-api/3.6.0/reading-streams), that being said there is an issue when posting/reading xml that will be looked at.
