[Zope] POST with Content-Type : text/plain fails

[Krone, Armin]

Hello everybody,

I want to connect a external server to Zope. This server talks t Zope via
simple http-requests. The connection fails at Zope if I use the
'Content-Type: text/plain' from my external server. The identical connection
with 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' is successful.


example 1: 
- Open Socket-Connection to localhost:8080
'POST /GetOrderInfo HTTP/1.0
Content-Type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 17
Cache-Control: no-cache

TransactionID=123'

-> Works fine, calls GetOrderInfo at Zope and returns the results

example 2:
- Open Socket-Connection to localhost:8080
'POST /GetOrderInfo HTTP/1.0
Content-Type : text/plain
Content-Length: 17
Cache-Control: no-cache

TransactionID=123'

-> 'HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
Server: Zope/(Zope 2.4.1 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), python
2.1.0, win32) ZServer/1.1b1

Content-Type: text/html
Bobo-Exception-Type: Bad Request
Connection: close
Bobo-Exception-Value: bobo exception
Content-Lenght: 1972
Bobo-Exception-Line: 562

(* some HTML-Code *)
...
<P><STRONG>Invalid request</STRONG></P>
The parameter, <em>TransactionID</em>, was omitted from the request.
<p>Make sure th specify all required parameters 
...

The pain is, that I can't change the 'content-Type' within my external
server.
What can I do with Zope that it accepts HTML-Requests with 'Content-Type :
text/plain?
