Description John Dennis 2017-01-17 14:42:52 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1414019 +++

When an ECP client signals it is ECP capable and authentication is required for the protected resource it is trying to access mellon responds with PAOS content that wraps the SAML AuthnRequest. The HTTP Content-Type header must be "application/vnd.paos+xml". However in some versions of Apache the returned Content-Type header is "text/html" which breaks the ECP flow because the ECP client does not expect it.

The problem arises because mellon was using the wrong Apache call to set the Content-Type header. In some versions of Apache this worked but in others it did not.
