Re: [infinispan-dev] ISPN-872 - MIME type for pure binary forms?

It makes sense not to deserialize this in the first place. E.g., treat applictaion/x-java-serialized-object the same as application/octet-stream. Deserializing is a Bad Thing, the server nodes may not even have the necessary class definitions to be able to deserialize.

The byte array passed is not "application/x-java-serialized-object". In fact, the server tries to deserialize it and fails, which leads to the byte[] being stored as is, but still under the "application/x-java-serialized-object" banner. > > My question is, what should be the type to use for pure byte arrays?
