MessagePact with a string as a content

[YanovAlexander]

Trying to write consumer tests using MessagePactBuilder and ran into a problem that I can't pass a string to the withContent method, since our provider sends an event with a string representation, and not with Json, the content type being passed is application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Are there solutions for this problem?

@Pact(provider = PROVIDER_ID, consumer = CONSUMER_ID)
public MessagePact initialScreen(MessagePactBuilder builder) {
    Map<String, Object> metadata = new HashMap<>();
    metadata.put("contentType", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

    return builder.given(STATE)
        .expectsToReceive(DESCRIPTION)
        .withMetadata(metadata)
        .withContent() //need to place string body here
        .toPact();
}

Thanks @rholshausen , right now we are using pact version 4.1.39 as we can migrate to the java 11+, any possibilities to make this changes compatible with the pact 4.1.+?
