Hi all,
The old behaviour (before 3 December): - Download requests had to have "Accept: application/json" or no accept header. - The response would be "Content-Type: application/json" although the actual content would be text like "0000077-181127163650858" From 3 December until now was only text/plain. New behaviour (as from a few minutes ago): - Download requests can have either "Accept: application/json", "Accept: text/plain", or no accept header at all. - The response Content-Type will be the same as the Accept header, or text/plain if there was none. That should fix the original problem [1], but remain compatible for libraries that currently have a workaround for the current behaviour.
