This is not a problem due to you haven't specified the Accept header and not defined preferable content type. According HTTP specification [1] section 14.1, if there is no acceptable content-type then assume that client supports all media types. AFAIK, http work with mime types based on another specification [2] which tell to return text/plain value as default one. I suppose that you should specify it due to specifications, not usability reasons, that's not difficult(;
