#35631: Include quality value when parsing Accept header -----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: Jake Howard | Owner: Jake Howard Type: New feature | Status: assigned Component: HTTP handling | Version: 5.0 Severity: Normal | Keywords: Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0 Needs documentation: 0 | Needs tests: 0 Patch needs improvement: 0 | Easy pickings: 0 UI/UX: 0 | -----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Requests have an `accepts` method for identifying the mimetype the user can receive. However, when multiple formats are provided, a [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Quality_values "quality value"] can be added to show the preferences on format. Handling this value currently needs to be done by hand.
I propose: 1. Documenting the existence of `Request.accepted_types` 2. Extract the quality value, and store it as `MediaType.quality` 3. Sort `Request.accepted_types` by quality value It would be nice to have an API to answer "I can return these mime types, which would you prefer?", which I guess could be handled manually for now. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/35631> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
