Marcello Nuccio commented on COUCHDB-1175: ------------------------------------------ Jason, I am still convinced that full support for Accept header is a good thing. But I am also convinced that good support for all clients is a good thing too. The patch of Filipe is very welcome, but maybe it is not enough. For example, if I do a GET on http://localhost:5984/db/_design/app/page.html I think it is reasonable to expect an HTML response without knowing what the Accept header is. It is reasonable because it works everywhere... well... I hope so... :-) > Improve content type negotiation for couchdb JSON responses > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-1175 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1175 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.0.2 > Reporter: Robert Newson > Assignee: Robert Newson > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.1.1, 1.2 > > > Currently we ignore qvalues when negotiation between 'application/json' and > 'text/plain' when returning JSON responses. > Specifically, we test directly for 'application/json' or 'text/plain' in the > Accept header. Different branches have different bugs, though. Trunk returns > 'application/json' if 'application/json' is present at all, even if it's less > preferred than 'text/plain' when qvalues are accounted for. > We should follow the standard. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
