Benjamin Young updated COUCHDB-1281:
------------------------------------
Description:
Current "continuous" and "longpoll" (and potentially text/event-stream feeds;
see COUCHDB-986) are selectable only via a "feed" query parameter. Ideally, it
would be best for these feed types to be made available based on Accept headers
sent with the request. Browsers and "lesser" HTTP clients who don't offer
header alteration or addition could fall back to the current "feed" query param
as needed.
This addition would allow clients to send "Accept: text/event-stream" (or other
mimetypes) with a _changes feed request and receive the stream body in that
mimetype. The current "continuous" and "longpoll" responses would need their
own registered mimetypes (rather than just text/plain or application/json).
These mimetypes could still be used in conjunction with the "feed" query param.
