Backport Accept check from chttpd
Backport "Accept check" from chttpd to correctly handle when browser
try to access a database when they aren't logged in or need to change their
login
This fixes so many bugs that have been littering the bug system for years.
The problem was that browsers over promise and we were using that to check
if it was json or html. I have another patch that is only 4 lines added and
two
changed but since it was changed in chttpd I thought merging that was the
best
thing.
Also if this patch doesn't get accepted I have an other solution in a form
of allowing
rewrite to change headers.
