That actually isn't spec compliant, is it? Since the spec states that the default should always be assumed to be 'json'. With php-shindig it checks to see if it has a recognizable content-type header, if not it checks for a recognizable format=foo query param, and otherwise sets the expected input & output formats to 'json', which means in this case everything works as expected.
No biggy, and i have commit access to the php opensocial client library so I'll go and update that, however for people who roll their own (or use different libraries which makes the same assumption) it might be worth it to change this behavior in my opinion. -- Chris On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 5:09 PM, Adam Winer <[email protected]> wrote: > Your content type is > > Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded > > ... which is wrong, it's application/json.
