Make Request strips a number of headers including Accept from an
outgoing makeRequest on it's way to the target server. We have data
that can comeback as JSON or as XML, but the default (no Accept)
header is xml. What gives. We add ContentType.JSON to the
makeRequest, and add params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.HEADERS] = {
"accept": "text/json" } to the request params, but of course the
buildHttpRequest in MakeRequestHandler prevents the Accept header from
going through. MakeRequestHandler.BAD_HEADERS...
We need a solution that works, here.
I've searched the mailing list, and I can't see any discussion of
Accept is being throttled. If you are going to strip the Accept
header, then I had expected that the ContentType.JSON setting in
makeRequest would somehow translate into an Accept header being added
by the MakeRequestHandler, but it's not.
