Content-Type or
Content-Encoding set to the following values:
- Flex/AMF3 (Adobe, BlazeDS, GraniteDS):
Content-Type set to
"application/x-amf"
- Java over HTTP:
Content-Type set to
"application/octet-stream" or
"application/x-java-serialized-object"

Content-Type set to
"application/soap+msbin1" or
"application/msbin1"
