Hi, there's some things that can be improved here (I'll follow up later),
however the first thing that confused me:

You mention (and handle) text/plain everywhere, yet your CURL example is about 
text/csv - 
which is different so I'd expect the 404 actually.

Is that a typo or the actual question?

Hi, I am doing my first steps with Akka HTTP with no previous experience with 
Spray. I need to implement a POST that can accept either text/plain or 
application/json and returns application/json. I am using akka-http-json 
library for marshalling/unmarshalling json.

This is the part of the route that deals with it:


path("things") {
  post {
    decodeRequest {
        request.entity.contentType.mediaType match {
          case MediaTypes.`text/plain` =>
            import PredefinedFromEntityUnmarshallers.stringUnmarshaller
            entity(as[String]) { body => // Every line can contain things, 
empty lines or comments
              complete {
                Source.fromString(body).getLines
                  .map(_.trim)
                  .filterNot(line => line.isEmpty || line.startsWith("#"))
                  .toSeq
              }
            }
          case MediaTypes.`application/json` =>
            entity(as[List[Thing]]) { things =>
              complete(things.map(_.name))
            }
          case _ =>
            reject
        }
    }
  }
}

When I do a request with curl with 'Content-Type:text/csv' for example I get a:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
The requested resource could not be found.

My gut intuition tells me that I am not doing the media type multiplexing the 
right way. What is the idiomatic way to handle different media types ?, and how 
can I specify the allowed ContentTypes (or media types) so the response error 
is more specific ?

Thank you very much,
Christian
