@kxepal Sorry I haven't yet learned the structure on how you do things, the
only reason I submitted a pull request is that I saw that you were ok with
that. I feel it's simpler than creating a bug report then submitting the patch
and so on.
I can try make make some documentation on how this behavior works, I've
read enough about it because of this bug :)
Is it really and open issue, I don't know. I don't think we do any more
comparisons like that, but I can look. The links I sent fall into two
categories "this q thing is weird and broken, let's ignore it" (easy option) or
"let's try respecting the q value" (the more complex), also add a lot of test
cases to make sure that it does not break anything.
At this point I'm just worried that people just see the complexity of
decision and will just run away and this will bit rot.
The old version is pretty nice, if you include html in you accept then you
get html otherwise you get json, do we really need anything more?
