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.
