Off the cuff, it sounds like you are making a POST request to the SearchHandler (ie: /search or /query) and the Content-TYpe you are sending is "text/xml; charset=UTF-8"
In the past SearchHandler might have ignored that Content-Type, but now that structured queries can be sent as POST data, it's trying to parse the POST body and it can't make sense of your XML data. As erick said: with out more details on what your client code looks like it's hard to give you additional advice -- the first big question you wnat to ask yourself though, is *why*, in SOlr 5.0, you were POSTing XML data to Solr -- what was the purpose of that POSTed XML data? : Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 22:57:30 -0700 (MST) : From: Pavel Hladik <pavel.hla...@profimedia.cz> : Reply-To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org : To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org : Subject: Bad contentType for search handler :text/xml; charset=UTF-8 : : Hi, : : we have migrated Solr from 5.0 do 5.1 and we can't search now, we have a : ERROR for SolrCore like in subject.
