Wiremock 2.33.0+ - UnsupportedMediaType error on the back end for a GET request proxied by WireMock

[ubeogesh]

I am using WireMock together with ChromeDriver - wiremock is instantiated and passed as a proxy to the ChromeDriver.

Here is how wiremock is instantiated:

    var wireMockServer = new WireMockServer(wireMockConfig().port(8888)
        .bindAddress("127.0.0.1")
        .enableBrowserProxying(true));
    wireMockServer.start();

On the chromedriver I just add the capabilities:

proxy.proxyType=manual
proxy.sslProxy=127.0.0.1:8888

In my back end application under test, there is one (and only) GET request that started failing with the new 2.33.0 (and 2.33.1) version of WireMock. The exception is "javax.ws.rs.NotSupportedException: HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type".

I assume this happens because of this change in 2.33.0:

• Proxy will now send a request body for any request method (i assume this is proxy request fix #1765 ?)

I don't think this is right default behavior. When I didn't have a request entity the proxy shouldn't just add it for no reason.

Would it be a decent solution would be to check if the content length is 0 before adding the entity?
