-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
As there is no clear path forwards despite much discussion; I'm closing this
until somebody comes up with a Fix For All Browsers And RESTful Services.
> 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
> Priority: Blocker
>
> 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.
