So, I'm trolling through the ASP.NET 3.5 docs on JSON and AJAX and it talks about GET not being enabled by default for a web service and that the mime type must be application/json

Of course the REST package has this:

            'text/x-json'        => 'JSON',

Near as I can gather, the official type is appliction/json:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/json/message/337
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt

And to make matters more fun, MIME::Types has neither.

I know, I know. "Well volunteered". :-)

Before I go patching things and submitting RT bugs, what do we want to do with REST?

I vote to support both mime types. Near as I figure, it can't hurt to do so.

Perhaps a warning about using an outdated mime type?
