                       (was: 2.2.3.SP1)

> As an efficiency measure, org.jboss.marshal.http.HTTPUnMarshaller.read() incorporates special handling for strings to avoid serialization.  However, there is a flaw in the logic.
> HTTPUnMarshaller.read() calls isBinaryData() and calls super.read() if the return value is true.  If the return value is false, then it processes the input as String data.  Originally, this distinction worked because the only two types recognized were org.jboss.remoting..transport.web.WebUtil.HTML ("text/html") and WebUtil.BINARY ("application/octet-stream").  However, JBREM-653 "allow user to set content-type for http responses" allows the introduction of other content types.
> Instead of testing for "application/octet-stream", HTTPUnMarshaller.read() should treat any content type that starts "text" as a String, and it should treat anything else as an object.
