Operator HTTPRequest throws exception when used with content type: application/octet-stream

[joergboe]

The following code :

	stream<int32 sequence, int32 size, rstring status, int32 stat, rstring err, rstring contentEncoding, rstring contentType, rstring respData, list<rstring> responseHeader> ResponseStream as O
					= HTTPRequest(SenderStream as I) {
		param
			fixedUrl: $url;
			fixedMethod: POST;
			outputBody : "respData";
			outputStatus : "status";
			outputStatusCode : "stat";
			outputContentEncoding : "contentEncoding";
			outputContentType : "contentType";
			outputHeader : "responseHeader";
			errorDiagnostics : "err";
			fixedContentType : "application/octet-stream";
			requestBodyAttribute : text;
			sslAcceptAllCertificates: true;
		config
			placement: partitionColocation("sender");
	}

Throws exception:
CDIST0220E Argument of fixedContentType: 'application/octet-stream' is invalid.

apache client:
org.apache.http.entity.ContentType ctt = ContentType.getByMimeType("application/octet-stream");
delivers null
but:

String str = ContentType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM.getMimeType();

delivers : application/octet-stream
