It's more simple actually. Using *any* content type will make it work. That's sort of ok, or at least less bad, since technically SOAP requires text/xml and that works.

There is almost certainly a probe of some kind happening when no content type is sent, and that's consuming the stream.

I'll have to research how we can turn that off, but the good news is that using the strictly correct type will work in clients until it's fixed.
