Should default to `consumes[0]` if no `requestContentType` provided

[ponelat]

The final order of setting the Content-Type header should be as follows..

• if has no req.body, no req.form add nothing.
• else if requestContentType, use that.
• else if has consumes use consumes[0]
• else if has a "type: file" parameter use multipart/form-data
• else if has "in: formData" use application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• else add nothing.

I've run into this as well. Is someone already working on this? If not, I can take a crack at it. I've already implemented part of it in my own requestInterceptor function.

Also related, I've noticed that if I have a POST endpoint with a json parameter in the body and I call that operation with the tags interface like client.apis.default.operation({param_name: {}}) (I explicitly set the Content-Type header to application/json), I get an error unexpected token o in JSON at position 1...

To get it to work, I have to serialize the value of the param explicitly client.apis.default.operation({param_name: JSON.stringify({})}).

Would it be reasonable to automatically stringify if the content type is application/json and it has an "in: body" parameter and the value is an object? I can create a separate issue for this if you'd like.

@dwilson6 we're always looking for community contributions. Nobody has started working on this issue yet.

As for the other thing you bring up, please open a separate ticket. I don't really follow what you're saying, but there are better developers than me on the project who will ;)

I was going to look at this today but it looks like @bodnia has it almost done

UPDATE:
Changed the order, to respect the user override requestContentType

[bodnia]

@ponelat when we do not have any content and (body/form) we should add a content-type for thing that we do not pass, is this correct?

[ponelat]

you're right.
If the user does feel like overriding this, they should use an explicit header. requestContentType does only make sense for when the client has a body.
