It's nothing to do with Tomcat. I think it's Spring MVC, personally, but that's a total guess at this point. I think something there is deciding to consume the stream to decide something, and using a bogus content type avoids tripping that code.

There's no way reset would work, that would assume complete buffering of every POST. You can't consume the stream more than once, ever.
